ABSTRACT:
A device and a method for determining a displacement of images in an image sequence, which are specially used to compensate for a camera movement. A plurality of image regions of the images is available for determining the displacement, each image region being provided at a preselected position of the images, each image region having preselected dimensions, in particular, a predetermined number of pixels in various directions of the image, and an image movement mainly caused by a camera movement being separated from an additional movement that is superimposed on the image movement in a subregion of the image to be corrected, by calculating the probability of the movement occurring without the additional movement is calculated at different positions of an image, specifying and fixing for each image region, the position and the dimensions as a function of the probability of the image movement occurring inside the one image region without the additional movement, and preferentially using at least one image region out of the plurality of image regions for determining the displacement.
