Oppo Unveiled Smartphone Image Stabilizer Technology At MWC

A Chinese smartphone maker, Oppo, today at Mobile World Congress 2016 announced its new SmartSensor image stabilization technology. “It is the first sensor-based image stabilizer in the industry and also the smallest image stabilizer in the world,” claims OPPO.

The OPPO SmartSensor image stabilizer senses and calculates vibrations on the pitch axis, yaw axis and roll axis, making split-second compensations through the use of a comb-shaped, voltage-driven MEMS (microelectromechanical system). Within milliseconds, three-axis anti-shake compensation can be achieved.

Optical image stabilization technology could be lens-based or sensor-based. The lens-based technology that is used in most phones senses vibration on two axes, pitch, and yaw, and uses a motor to shift the lens to compensate for movements on these axes.

The new Oppo SmartSensor technology that is based upon sensor-based image stabilizer for smartphones upgrades IS functionality from two axes of movement to three.
