Abstract
Several methods, devices and systems for stabilizing images and correcting rolling shutter effects are described. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for image stabilization for an image-capturing device with associated calibration data includes determining motion data for the image-capturing device using a motion-estimating device. The method also includes matching motion data to a sequence of frames captured by the image-capturing device to determine motion data for each frame, constructing a target motion path of the image-capturing device based on the motion data for each frame, and computing a desired motion correction from a motion path observed in the motion data to the target motion path.
