Patent ID: 8022996

Claim:
A stabilizer device of images acquired by a digital-image sensor, the stabilizer device comprising: a processing unit, connectable to said digital-image sensor for receiving a first image signal and configured to produce a second image signal from said first image signal based on quantities correlated to pitch and yaw movements of said digital-image sensor; and a motion sensor structured to detect the quantities correlated to pitch and yaw movements of said digital-image sensor, the motion sensor including: first and second accelerometers structured to detect the quantities correlated to pitch and yaw movements of said digital-image sensor; a third accelerometer configured to provide an orientation signal; and a pre-processing stage coupled to said first accelerometer and to said second accelerometer for receiving sensing signals representing said differential capacitive unbalancing, and configured to determine said quantities based on said differential capacitive unbalancing using selectively one of a first mode and a second mode, based on the orientation signal provided by said third accelerometer, wherein: in said first mode, said pre-processing stage is configured to determine said quantities so as to reject angular accelerations acting on said first accelerometer and linear accelerations acting on said second accelerometer, and in said second mode, said pre-processing stage is configured to determine said quantities so as to reject linear accelerations acting on said first accelerometer and angular accelerations acting on said second accelerometer.
