1. A method for converting a low resolution first image produced by a light sensor for receiving incident light radiated from a scene to a high resolution second image, whereby the light sensor is constructed as an array or matrix having a number of cells with each cell defining a predetermined area, which method comprises:

  • cyclically scanning the first image a number of times;

    simultaneously moving the light sensor with the scanning stepwise an identical number of times relative to the light radiating scene in at least one direction thereby defining a number of subareas, such that the total distance covered during movement of the light sensor corresponds to the extent of the cell or to the extent of the cell plus a distance defined by or to a neighbor cell in the at least one movement direction, and establishing a representation of the high-resolution second image by calculating the representation of the received incident light from the scene at each subarea.
