Abstract
In an automatic stabilization control apparatus that makes automatic stabilization control of data representing a moving image within a range from a reference frame to a frame which is an arbitrary number of frames succeeding the reference frame, an automatic stabilization control apparatus comprises first means for calculating a geometric conversion coefficient between an input frame and a frame which is one frame preceding the input frame for converting coordinates on the input frame into coordinates on the frame which is one frame preceding the input frame as a geometric conversion coefficient between the adjacent frames; second means for accumulating the geometric conversion coefficients between the adjacent frames from the reference frame to the input frame, to calculate an indirect geometric conversion coefficient between the input frame and the reference frame; third means for calculating a direct geometric conversion coefficient between the input frame and the reference frame utilizing the indirect geometric conversion coefficient between the input frame and the reference frame; and fourth means for carrying out automatic stabilization control of the input frame using the direct geometric conversion coefficient between the input frame and the reference frame.
