1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an image sensor operable to capture image segments during corresponding exposure intervals of a frame exposure period;
a motion sensor operable to generate respective motion sensor signals during the respective exposure intervals of the image segments; and
a processing system operable to determine from the respective motion sensor signals one or more corresponding movement measures for each of the exposure intervals and combine the image segments into an output image based on the one or more corresponding movement measures.

Abstract
Still image apparatus and methods that are suitable for compact camera environments are described. In another aspect, image segments are captured during corresponding exposure intervals of a frame exposure period. Respective motion sensor signals are generated during the respective exposure intervals of the image segments. One or more corresponding movement measures are determined from the respective motion sensor signals for each of the exposure intervals. The image segments are combined into an output image based on the one or more corresponding movement measures.
