Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (1) and method (100) for resolution enhancement which enables the depth resolution to be enhanced without using gimbal, performs depth description independent from lighting conditions and camera parameters in high resolution.
Claims16
A resolution enhancement method (100) enabling the images acquired in low resolution to become high resolution and characterized by the steps of
- initializing the gradient buffer (7) and the image buffer (101),
- acquiring low resolution image from the imaging unit (2) using data received from the exposure generation module (31) and offset generation module (32) (102),
- recording the image received to the database (4) (103),
- implementing resolution enhancement process (104),
- displaying the final image to the user (105).
A resolution enhancement method (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the step of taking low resolution image from the imaging unit (2) by using the data received from the exposure generation module (31) and the offset generation module (32) (in other words step 102) is repeated by using different exposure and offset information generated by exposure generation module (31) and the offset generation module (32).
A resolution enhancement system (1) comprising
- at least one imaging unit (2) which enables to acquire image,
- at least one data transfer unit (3) which has at least one exposure generation module (31) enabling different exposure times to be generated for the images to be taken, at least one offset generation module (32) enabling the data about the offset of the imaging unit (2) to be generated, and at least one data transfer module (33) enabling the data to be received and transferred,
- at least one database (4) which enables the images acquired to be stored,
- at least one motion unit (5) which enables the movement of the imaging unit (2) in tree dimension according to the data acquired by the offset generation module (32),
- at least control unit (6) which enables the images acquired to be processed, and characterized by
- at least one gradient buffer (7) wherein the differences between the images are stored.
