Digital Image Stabilization (DIS)

Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) (n.) Also called Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). A software-based approach to reducing blur and shake in images and videos. Unlike OIS, DIS works by processing the image after it’s captured. In mobile photography, DIS often complements OIS, especially for video recording. It can crop and align multiple frames to create a stable output. While generally less effective than OIS, DIS can be implemented in a wider range of devices and is particularly useful for smoothing out video footage.
