Abstract
A system constructs a high resolution image from a plurality of low resolution images where each of the low resolution images includes a plurality of color planes. The system receives the plurality of low resolution images where the plurality of color planes of each of the low resolution images are spatially arranged in at least a partially non-coincident manner. Motion data representative of motion of at least a portion of the low resolution images is determined. The high resolution image is constructed, having a resolution greater than the low resolution images, based upon the non-coincident color planes of the low resolution images, together with the motion data.
Claims74
A method for constructing a high resolution image from a plurality of low resolution images, each of said low resolution images includes a plurality of color planes, comprising:
- (a) receiving said plurality of low resolution images, where said plurality of color planes of each of said low resolution images are spatially arranged in at least a partially non-coincident manner;
- (b) determining motion data representative of motion of at least a portion of said low resolution images;
- and
- (c) constructing said high resolution image, having a resolution greater than said low resolution images, based upon said spatially non-coincident color planes together with said motion data.
An image processor that constructs a high resolution image from a plurality of low resolution images, each of said low resolution images includes a plurality of color planes, comprising:
- (a) said image processor receives said plurality of low resolution images, where said plurality of color planes of each of said low resolution images are spatially arranged in at least a partially non-coincident manner;
- (b) said image processor determines motion data representative of motion of at least a portion of said low resolution images;
- and
- (c) said image processor constructs said high resolution image, having a resolution greater than said low resolution images, based upon said spatially non-coincident color planes together with said motion data.
