In this chapter, we've hard-coded the axes of the gyroscope. This might not be the case for all mobile phone manufacturers. Using a similar calibration technique, you should be able to find an axes configuration that minimizes errors across the video.

Estimating the rolling shutter direction

We've hard-coded the direction of the rolling shutter. Using specific techniques (like blinking an LED really fast at the camera), it is possible to estimate the direction of ...
