<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pickup device that reduces constraints on attaching an angular velocity detecting means in the case of using the angular velocity detecting means for detecting the angular velocities of two detection axes perpendicular to each other. <P>SOLUTION: This image pickup device uses the angular velocity detecting means that brings together two angular velocity sensors 1 and 1' in one package in the form of making the angular velocity detection axes perpendicular to each other and is provided with a correction axis converting circuit 11. The correction axis converting circuit 11 can perform more accurate swinging correction by applying to inputted angular velocity signals "X" and "Y" a vector conversion operation with correction signals "x" and "y" shown in the following; x=Xcosθ+Ysinθand y=Ycosθ-Ysinθ, whereinθrepresents the inclination of a swinging detection axis and a swinging correction axis. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
