Patent attributes
A stabilization device for a hand-held image capture system has (a) a controller for determining the alignment difference between an actual alignment of the image capture system and a target alignment of the image capture system, and (b) a compensation device for compensating the effect of the determined alignment difference on a projected image section. A communication device, in particular an optical display, is provided for communicating the alignment difference concerning pre-definable alignment difference values or ranges of values, such that a user is able, by adjusting the orientation of the image capture system, to steer the alignment difference to a pre-determined or arbitrary value or into a pre-determined range of values. Functions for influencing the target image alignment or for other control purposes may be assigned to a pre-determined range of values.
