No More Shaky Camera Phone Photos
InvenSense says that it has developed a miniature image stabilization system, due out in the second half of this year, which can be used in mobile phones to stabilize shaky photo images. Consumers accustomed to digital still cameras (DSCs) are often dissatisfied with camera phone image quality, which suffers from blurring caused by natural hand jitter, especially in low-light conditions, and is magnified by zoom features. According to InfoTrends/CAP Ventures, the result is only half as many photos taken as with camera phones; only one fifth the number of images printed; and little wireless sharing of photos. more
