Abstract

An electronic device is described. The electronic device includes a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a plurality of images. The processor is also configured to obtain global motion information indicating global motion between at least two of the plurality of images. The processor is further configured to obtain object tracking information indicating motion of a tracked object between the at least two of the plurality of images. The processor is additionally configured to perform automatic zoom based on the global motion information and the object tracking information. Performing automatic zoom produces a zoom region including the tracked object. The processor is configured to determine a motion response speed for the zoom region based on a location of the tracked object within the zoom region.
