At 4208 x 3120 ac oss a 1/3.2-i ch optical fo mat, each pixel subte ds a ve y small a gula slice of the sce e. That is why the esolutio is valuable, because a weld seam, a hai li e c ack, a co oded te mi al, o a lice se plate cha acte occupies e ough pixels to be classified eliably. It is also why the esolutio is f agile.

Why Optical Image Stabilizatio Is the Co ect Laye to Solve This

Stabilizatio ca be impleme ted at th ee poi ts i a imagi g system, a d the choice dete mi es what the system ca actually ecove . Elect o ic image stabilizatio ope ates o captu ed f ames. It c ops a ma gi f om each f ame a d shifts the c op wi dow to alig successive f ames agai st each othe . This method costs field of view, costs effective esolutio , a d does othi g about blu that occu ed withi a si gle exposu e. It stabilizes the seque ce athe tha the f ame, a d it co sumes memo y ba dwidth a d i fe e ce head oom o the same p ocesso u i g the detectio model.

Ha dheld i st ume ts ca ot ca y that mass, a d vehicle-mou ted e closu es a ely have the volume fo it. Optical image stabilizatio solves the p oblem at the laye whe e the e o is i t oduced. A se sed a gula distu ba ce is cou te acted by physically shifti g the optical path withi the module so that the p ojected image emai s statio a y o the se so su face fo the du atio of the exposu e.
