US Patent 11950000 Resolution enhancement in spatial-frequency space

A camera system comprises a lamp configured to emit light, a lamp driver configured to energize the lamp, an image-sensor array configured to acquire image data, a lenslet array, and an image engine. The lenslet array comprises a plurality of lenslets arranged laterally over the image-sensor array and configured to focus the light, reflected from a subject, onto the image-sensor array. The image engine is configured to (a) receive the image data from the image-sensor array, (b) resolve the image data into a plurality of component images, and (c) return an enhanced image based on the plurality of component images, the enhanced image having enhanced spatial resolution relative to any of the component images.
