Claim Text:
1. A method of generating images, the method comprising: detecting an amount of motion, said detected amount of motion being a detected amount of motion of a camera device including multiple optical chains or a detected amount of motion between an image corresponding to a second time period and an image corresponding to a first time period; producing a second reference image, from a first plurality of images captured by different optical chains of said camera device during the second time period, producing a second reference image including at least one of: i) selecting the second reference image from images captured by different optical chains during said second time period based on the detected amount of motion or ii) synthesizing a reference image from at least two of said first plurality of images captured by different optical chains during said second time period based on the detected amount of motion; and using the second reference image and at least one other image in said first plurality of images to generate a composite image corresponding to said second time period.
