Patent ID: 10038850

Abstract:
Systems and methods for compensating angular misalignment in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) systems are described. In some embodiments, a method may include measuring an angle representing a misalignment between an actuator and an electronic component within a camera; and compensating for the misalignment using a rotation matrix, wherein the rotation matrix is calculated based upon the angle. In other embodiments, a camera may include an image sensor coupled to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB); an OIS actuator coupled to the PCB and optically coupled to the image sensor, where the OIS actuator is physically misaligned with respect to the image sensor; and a controller coupled to the PCB, the controller configured to: measure an angle representing the misalignment; and compensate for the misalignment using a rotation matrix at the time of an image capture, where the rotation matrix is calculated based upon the angle.
