Image stabilisation 'post production'

Here's something different. Instead of trying to get rid of camera shake by using special elements in the lens (Canon/Nikon) or the sensor (Sony), Microsoft are looking at recording the movement at the instant of exposure and then applying a correction algorithm afterwards.

Image Deblurring using Inertial Measurement Sensors

The results are better than what you (well, I) would expect.

I wonder how long it will be before we see the Adobe plugins for this?

I would be interesting to see how the movement data is recorded. I can't imagine it would be too much information, just a set of vector co-ordinates giving speed and direction, stored into the EXIF data. Adobe could then use the Microsoft algorithm in either a PS/LR plug-in or in CameraRaw.

So what if you wanted that effect? Could you disable it? How would it affect panning blur for example? Interesting tho, I prefer a software solution over a hardware solution anytime.

This is a neat idea, but the result is the software redrawing what it thinks the image really is. If you have a hardware solution the image is the real image. With the software solution the image is a reproduction made from approximately zero pixels of the image you took.

Having said that the results are impressive.

Exactly Steve, thats what I was eluding to in my post... how does it know when an image is blurred or in fact it is like that in reality.
