Super Resolution

Combining data from multiple frames, the method is capable of improving camera resolution beyond sensor limit. Method is:

  • Non-iterative - short and predictable processing time
  • Objective reconstruction - real image not a guessed pattern
  • Fine tuning for each camera design to achieve the best possible quality
  • Heavily optimized for target processors and DSPs - real time operation and low power consumption
  • Brings a typical 1.5x increase in linear resolution

First commercialized as an application for Symbian OS. Later, super resolution became a key feature of multishot processing application for professional photographers: PhotoAcute. A book Photographic Multishot Techniques: High Dynamic Range, Super-Resolution, Extended Depth of Field, Stitching details the use of Photoacute in chapter 3. Super-Resolution - More Pixels
