Abstract:
1. An image stabilizing apparatus comprising: a motion vector calculating part that calculates a motion vector between a plurality of images including a displacement caused by a motion of an image-pickup apparatus; a shake-correction parameter calculating part that receives the motion vector as input to calculate a shake correction amount; and an image transforming part that performs geometric transformation of the image in accordance with the shake correction amount, wherein the shake-correction parameter calculating part includes: a variation amount calculating part that calculates an image variation amount between the plurality of images based on the motion vector; a variation amount correcting part that calculates, based on the image variation amount, motion information in which a component distorting the image is excluded; and a correction amount calculating part that calculates the shake correction amount based on the motion information between the plurality of images.
