Abstract
Provided are an image stabilizing method and apparatus, which are capable of performing robust operations in a moving environment. The image stabilizing apparatus includes: an image pre-processor configured to receive a current image and a reference image corresponding to the current image; a feature point selector configured to select at least one feature point corresponding to a background from a plurality of feature points, comprising the background and at least one moving object, in the reference image; a motion estimator configured to estimate a motion of a current image, based on the selected feature point in the reference image and at least one corresponding feature point, corresponding to the selected feature point in the reference image, in the current image; and an image corrector configured to generate a stabilized current image by converting the current image by using the estimated motion.
