Abstract

Methods and apparatus for electronically stabilizing an image captured by a device including a motion detection unit are provided. In one implementation, the method includes capturing a first exposure of the image, and capturing a second exposure of the image including using the motion detection unit to ensure that the second exposure of the image has a pre-determined blur property. The second exposure is longer than the first exposure. The method further includes combining the second exposure of the image having the pre-determined blur property and the first exposure of the image to electronically stabilize the image captured by the device.
