Patent ID: 8279267

Claim:
An image capture apparatus, comprising: an image sensor, configured for detecting incident light to generate a corresponding captured image; a lens, configured for guiding light of a scene toward the image sensor; an image stabilizer, configured for detecting a motion of the image capture apparatus when the image capture apparatus is capturing the scene; and adjusting a relative position relationship between the image sensor and the lens according to the motion and a predetermined relative position relationship; and a controller, configured for controlling the image sensor to generate a first captured image of the scene in response to a first relative position relationship and a second captured image of the scene in response to an adjusted relative position relationship; wherein the image stabilizer adjusts the relative position relationship between the image sensor and the lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction to allow the image sensor to generate the captured images which capture stereo contents of the scene; and wherein at least one of the lens and the image sensor is a floating device, and the relative position relationship between the image sensor and the lens varies due to a movement of the floating device.
