1. A method comprising:
- receiving motion data of an image capture device;
applying the received motion data to a model that models tremor motion about a users joints and limbs as an approximation of a simple harmonic motion to determine one or more sinusoids that describe the motion of the image capture device, wherein the model is based on biomechanical data that defines a range of human arm motion;
selecting a time at which to capture image data by the image capture device, the time corresponding to a predicted point of minimum adverse motion of the image capture device based on the determined one or more sinusoids; and
creating an improved image based on the one or more sinusoids by capturing image data at the selected time.
