ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a method of compensating an imager-created image for a distortion. The method includes: a movement-vector detection process of receiving data of the imager-created image and detecting a movement vector; an optical-zoom portion vector computation process of computing an optical-zoom portion vector corresponding to an image movement; an optical-zoom portion vector subtraction process of subtracting the optical-zoom portion vector from the movement vector detected; a global hand-movement displacement vector computation process of computing a global hand-movement displacement vector for the imager-created image from the movement vector in the case of no optical zoom operation and computing a global hand-movement displacement vector for the imager-created image from a difference vector output in the case of an optical zoom operation; and a hand-movement compensation process of compensating the imager-created image for a distortion caused by a hand movement on the basis of the global hand-movement displacement vector.
