Abstract
Methods and apparatus for compensating for motion and/or changing light conditions during image capture, e.g., in video, through use of multiple camera modules and/or images captured by multiple camera modules are described. During image capture time periods a plurality of camera modules capture images. During a first image capture time period a first camera module captures an image including a complete image of a user selected scene area of interest. During an additional image capture time period the first camera module captures an image including a portion of the scene area of interest; however, a portion of the scene area image is missing from the captured image, e.g., due to camera motion, occlusion and/or lighting conditions. Captured images from other camera modules and/or from during different image capture time periods which include the missing portion are identified and ranked; the highest ranked image is used in generating a composite image.
