Samsung patents video smoothing that fixes shaky camera moves

This patent describes a method for electronic devices to analyze video frames and detect areas where movement is consistent. It calculates a specific correction value to adjust these areas, effectively stabilizing the image and creating smoother transitions between frames.

Why it mattersThis technology could make video recordings on phones and cameras look steadier and more professional by automatically correcting for small, consistent camera shakes.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic apparatus including memory storing one or more instructions and at least one processor that is connected with the memory and controls the electronic apparatus, wherein the at least one processor is configured to, by executing the one or more instructions, identify an area where a motion is maintained in an input image, identify motion information of the identified area and representative motion information of the identified area, identify a motion correction value based on the identified motion information and the identified representative motion information, perform motion compensation for an input frame included in the input image by applying the identified motion correction value to the identified area, obtain an interpolation frame by applying the identified motion correction value to the identified area, and obtain an output image based on the input frame for which the motion compensation was performed and the obtained interpolation frame.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising: memory storing one or more instructions; and at least one processor is configured to, by executing the one or more instructions: identify an area where a motion is maintained in an input image, identify motion information of the identified area and representative motion information of the identified area, identify a motion correction value based on the identified motion information and the identified representative motion information, perform motion compensation for an input frame included in the input image by applying the identified motion correction value to the identified area, obtain an interpolation frame by applying the identified motion correction value to the identified area, and obtain an output image based on the input frame for which the motion compensation was performed and the obtained interpolation frame.
