Recently mobile phone camera become generally spread, it is required to develop high resolution, multi-functional camera module for obtaining high image quality. To satisfy this demand, number of pixels has been increased and pixel size decreased in small mobile phone cameras. As a result, image quality is seriously dropped by blur phenomena. Especially when hand tremble is occurred, image quality is dropped by camera shake. Therefore, to obtain high quality image, it is necessary to compensate user's hand tremble. In this paper, we propose voice coil actuator for compensating hand tremble, which can apply optical image stabilization (OIS) system. Sensitivity analysis and size optimization are performed to obtain high driving force. Finally, it is confirmed that the optimized electromagnetic circuit can be applied in OIS system.

Optical image stabilization is a technique to compensate the image blurring caused by some vibrations of camera at the exposure time. Pitching and yawing of camera are sensitive to the image quality so they are usually compensated by optical image stabilization. Corresponding pitching and yawing of a camera, a lens or the image sensor is translated in two-axis direction and then the optical path of camera is adjusted. In this paper, two-axis OIS actuator for mobile camera module is suggested and designed. The actuator is a voice-coil actuator that uses the electromagnetic force of voice-coil to make compensation motions. And ball bearing is used to reduce friction force. Magnetic attractive force between magnets and yokes acts as a preload and magnet springs. Prototype actuator is fabricated to measure the friction force and to verify the feasibility of the OIS actuator with ball bearing. At last, the actuator is improved in consideration of driving force and friction force. Design of experiments is used for designing the actuator.

This study proposes a closed-loop shaping control method with $H_{\infty}$ optimization for optical image stabilization (OIS) in mobile phone cameras. The image stabilizer is composed of a horizontal stage constrained by ball bearings and actuated by the magnetic force from voice coil motors. The displacement of the stage is measured by Hall effect sensors. From the OIS frequency response experiment, the transfer function models of the stage and Hall effect sensor were identified. The weight functions were determined considering the tracking performance, noise attenuation, and stability with considerable margins. The $H_{\infty}$ optimal controller was executed using closed-loop shaping and limiting the controller order, which should be less than 6 for real-time implementation. The control algorithm was verified experimentally and proved to operate as designed.

This paper proposes a hybrid image stabilizing system which uses both optical image stabilizing system based on EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) and digital image stabilization based on SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature). Though image information is one of the most efficient data for object recognition, it is susceptible to noise which results from internal vibration as well as external factors. The blurred image obtained by the camera mounted on a robot makes it difficult for the robot to recognize its environment. The proposed system estimates shaking angle through EKF based on the information from inclinometer and gyro sensor to stabilize the image. In addition, extracting the feature points around rotation axis using SURF which is robust to change in scale or rotation enhances processing speed by removing unnecessary operations using Hessian matrix. The experimental results using the proposed hybrid system shows its effectiveness in extended frequency range.

The mobile camera module is a device to be inserted in the digital device for camera feature. The mobile camera module is being shaken by vibrations such as handshake during the exposure time. The clarity is compromised by these vibrations, thus the vibration is considered as an external disturbance. Moreover the use of mobile camera module has been being expanded for automotive vibration should be considered. These external disturbances can cause image blurring, thus optical image stabilization should be applied for image compensation. The compensator is fulfilled mechanically by movable lens group or image sensor that adjusts the optical path to the camera movement. Open loop control is useful for well-defined systems like compliant mechanism. Notch filter and lead compensator are designed and applied to improve the stability and bandwidth. The final level of image compensating is confirmed by image processing with MATLAB and CODE V to verify the better performance.

This paper proposed an optimal plate spring design for the optical image stabilizer in mobile phones. The voice-coil motor (VCM) with plate spring is the smallest, lowest-cost solution for auto focus on the market today and it is also the simplest to implement. The VCM is selected in this paper for auto focusing. However, the design process is complex due to the many design variables coupled to each other and some constraints of each directional motion caused by the characteristics of plate spring. Because of the complex formulation of the design objective, a plate spring design is proposed through the design of experiments to find the optimal design satisfying design constraints.

본 논문은 모바일 광학식 손떨림 보정(OIS) 움직임 검출부의 성능과 안정도를 높이기 위하여 퍼지기반 손떨림 상태 검출 및 오차 보상 알고리즘의 설계 및 구현을 기술한다. OIS 움직임 검출을 위한 자이로 센서 출력에는 소자의 고유 오차가 포함되어 있기 때문에 신속한 손떨림 보정과 안정적인 손떨림 상태 검출을 위해서 정확한 오차 보상이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 퍼지 알고리즘을 기반으로 낮은 연산량을 통해서 손떨림 주파수에 대한 각도 및 위상 오차를 신속하게 줄여서 보정 성능을 개선하였다. 또한 손떨림 각도 크기에 따라 {정지, 작은 손떨림, 큰 손떨림, 팬/틸트} 등의 손떨림 상태를 적절히 구분해서 시스템의 안정성을 향상시켰다. 모바일 OIS 움직임 검출부를 위해 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 및 안정도를 실제 손떨림과 같은 2~12Hz 주파수 범위의 ${\pm}0.5^{\circ}$, ${\pm}0.8^{\circ}$ 손떨림 진동에 대해서 정량적 및 정성적 실험으로써 평가하였다. 실험결과를 통해서 기존 BACF/DCF 알고리즘과 비교해서 평균 3.71dB의 개선된 성능을 검증하였고, 4가지 손떨림 상태를 안정적으로 검출하는 동작을 확인하였다.

MEMS 기반의 자이로 센서는 회전 각도를 추출하는 과정에서 잡음성분에 의한 누적오차(drift) 및 영점(zero angle) 이탈현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 누적오차를 제거하기 위한 DCF(Drift Compensatio Filter) 알고리즘과 각도 추출 시영점 이탈 방지를 위한 BACF(Boot Angle Compensation Filter) 알고리즘을 제안한다. DCF 알고리즘은 자이로 센서의 출력값에서 오프셋 및 잡음성분을 제거하여 순수 이동량을 얻을 수 있도록 설계한다. BACF 알고리즘은 자이로 센서로부터 출력되는 오프셋(Offset)에 포함된 잡음 성분을 재귀 평균법으로 계산하여 평균 오프셋을 구한다. 실험환경은 2축 자이로 센서 및 모바일 OIS 카메라가 탑재된 컨트롤 보드를 이용하여 5Hz의 ${\pm}0.5^{\circ}$의 진동에 대하여 BACF 및 DCF 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 누적 오차가 발생하지 않았으며, 영점 각도 추종이 정확히 이루어지는 결과를 확인하였다.
