Method, apparatus and computer program product for generating super-resolved images

A method comprising:

• generating an initial super-resolved image associated with a scene based on a reference image and remaining one or more images of a plurality of images of the scene, the scene comprising at least one mobile object;
• up-sampling the reference image to generate an up-sampled reference image;
• generating a motion mask image based on the initial super-resolved image and the up-sampled reference image, the motion mask image representative of motion of the at least one mobile object associated with the scene;
• and
• generating, based on the motion mask image, a composite image of the scene comprising at least one portion depicting the at least one mobile object.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
• generate an initial super-resolved image associated with a scene based on a reference image and remaining one or more images of a plurality of images of the scene, the scene comprising at least one mobile object,
• up-sample the reference image to generate an up-sampled reference image,
• generate a motion mask image based on the initial super-resolved image and the up-sampled reference image, the motion mask image representative of motion of the at least one mobile object associated with the scene, and
• generate, based on the motion mask image, a composite image of the scene comprising at least one portion depicting the at least one mobile object.

A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform:

• generate an initial super-resolved image associated with a scene based on a reference image and remaining one or more images of a plurality of images of the scene, the scene comprising at least one mobile object,
• up-sample the reference image to generate an up-sampled reference image,
• generate a motion mask image based on the initial super-resolved image and the up-sampled reference image, the motion mask image representative of motion of the at least one mobile object associated with the scene, and
• generate, based on the motion mask image, a composite image of the scene comprising at least one portion depicting the at least one mobile object.
