Abstract
We describe in this paper the building of a vision sensor able to provide video capture and the associated global motion between two consecutive frames. Our objective is to propose embedded solutions for mobile applications. The global motion considered here is the one typically produced by handheld devices movement, which is required for our purpose of video stabilization. We extract this global motion from local motion measures at the periphery of the image acquisition area. Thanks to this peculiar and “task-oriented” configuration, the resulting system architecture can take advantage of CMOS focal plane processing capabilities without sacrificing the sensor fill factor. Our approach is currently implemented in a CMOS 0.13μm technology.
