Abstract
In this paper, a miniature video stabilization system is designed to deal with the image jitter and motion blur problem for flapping-wing aerial vehicles (FWAVs). First, a light and two-axis pan–tilt (about 13[Formula: see text]g) is built for the FWAV to counteract most of the jitter effect. Then, an electronic image stabilization method combined with a Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMSs) gyroscope is proposed to further stabilize the images. Finally, flight experiment results show that the designed video stabilization system effectively improves the quality of aerial videos.
