Patent ID: 7714892

Claim:
A digital image stabilization system, comprising: a sensor pixel array comprising an array of imaging pixels and at least first and second rolling shutters; a memory containing software; a processor; a lens operatively coupled to the sensor pixel array, and a relative position determination device; wherein the sensor pixel array, memory, software, processor, lens and relative position determination device are operatively connected to one another and configured to: (a) capture simultaneously exposed at least first and second images of the same subject, at least portions of the first image being captured by the first rolling shutter while at least portions of the second image are being captured by the second rolling shutter; (b) spatially align first and second data sets comprising individual data points based on information sensed and provided by the relative position determination device, where the first and second data sets correspond to pixel arrays containing analog pixel voltages, the pixel arrays forming the first and second images, respectively, and (c) add individual data points from the aligned first and second data sets to form an output data set.
