US Patent 7373019 System and method for providing multi-sensor super-resolution

A super-resolution enhanced image generating system is described for generating a super-resolution-enhanced image from an image of a scene, identified as image g0, comprising a base image and at least one other image gi, the system comprising an initial super-resolution enhanced image generator, an image projector module and a super-resolution enhanced image estimate update generator module. The initial super-resolution enhanced image generator module is configured to use the image g0 to generate a super-resolution enhanced image estimate. The image projector module is configured to selectively use a warping, a blurring and/or a decimation operator associated with the image gi to generate a projected super-resolution enhanced image estimate. The super-resolution enhanced image estimate update generator module is configured to use the input image gi and the super-resolution enhanced image estimate to generate an updated super-resolution enhanced image estimate.
