Google's Pixel 2 phones pack an excellent camera for both photography as well as videography. In fact, while recording videos, the Pixel 2's camera uses both OIS as well as EIS to deliver jitter-free videos. The company has just posted a video explaining how the stabilization works and it shows how A.I. technology has improved over time and how efficiently it can erase typical errors that EIS or OIS might not catch by themselves.
It starts off by collecting motion info from both OIS and the phone's gyroscope. Then Google uses 'lookahead' filtering algorithm that pushes image frames into a deferred queue and uses machine learning to predict where you're likely to move the phone next. This helps the camera to iron out common video quirks like wobbling, rolling shutter, etc. In addition to that, the algorithmic method even introduces a virtual motion to mask variations in sharpness when you move the phone quickly.
