Adaptive model-following control for slim voice coil motor type optical image stabilization actuator

Abstract

An autofocusing optical image stabilization actuator (AFOISA) will become standard equipment quickly in megapixel resolution mobile phone cameras (MPCs). A slim AFOISA composed of two orthogonal directions has been developed based on magnetic analysis and it is an effective solution to address image quality of a charged coupled device to compensate 10–20Hz hand jitter in taking photos. However, environmental disturbance often occur irregular shake, such as when a photographer holds a MPC while walking or in a vehicle. Therefore, this paper develops an adaptive model-following control (AMFC) law including two proportional-integral-derivative controllers with position and speed feedback control, which is shown to be able to compensate for irregular shake of MPCs and to obtain fast response. Although irregular environmental shake cause parameter variation, an adaptation mechanism synthesizes an auxiliary input signal to assure that an AFOISA plant exactly behaves as a reference model. The time response by utilizing AMFC includes 30ms settling time and 5μm steady state error without any overshoot. Furthermore, a compensatory force can quickly cancel irregular disturbance. As a result, the present slim AFOISA satisfies the optical demands of MPCs.
