Patent attributes
Provided are an apparatus and method for outputting a stabilized image even when a camera sways. The method includes: applying a first compensated motion to the image to acquire a first stabilized image, wherein an accumulation result of first motions, each of which is estimated between adjacent images from a reference image to an arbitrary image, is inversely transformed into the first compensated motion; and acquiring a second motion estimated between the reference image and the first stabilized image and applying the accumulation result of the first motions and a second compensated motion to the image to acquire a second stabilized image. An accumulation result of the second motion is inversely transformed into the second compensated motion.
