Claim One:
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, wherein the motion sensor comprises image sensing elements operable to capture images of a scene; 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, wherein the processing system is operable to determine the movement measures from comparisons of ones of the images captured by the image sensing elements of the motion sensor; wherein at least a portion of the image sensing elements are further operable to capture the images in accordance with a rolling shutter process that is determined by: 
 E FP =e R +M*T R , 
 t E,i =( i− 1)* T R +t 0,FP , and 
 t R,i =i*T R +e R +t 0,FP , wherein e R denotes a scanline exposure interval, E FP denotes a frame exposure period, T R denotes readout time for each row of pixels, M is the number of rows of pixels in an active area of the image sensor, exposure of row i begins at time t E,i , t 0,FP is a time at which frame exposure period FP begins, and readout of row i occurs at time t R,i .
