Patent Images
1. A method for processing undersampled image data, comprising:
- aligning an undersampled frame comprising image data to a reference frame;
accumulating pixel values for pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frame;
repeating the aligning and the accumulating for a plurality of undersampled frames;
assigning the pixel values accumulated for the pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frames to closest corresponding pixel locations in an upsampled reference frame; and
populating the upsampled frame with a combination of the assigned pixel values to produce a resulting frame of image data.

Abstract
An exemplary method for processing undersampled image data includes: aligning an undersampled frame comprising image data to a reference frame; accumulating pixel values for pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frame; repeating the aligning and the accumulating for a plurality of undersampled frames; assigning the pixel values accumulated for the pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frames to closest corresponding pixel locations in an upsampled reference frame; and populating the upsampled frame with a combination of the assigned pixel values to produce a resulting frame of image data.

12. A method for processing undersampled image data, comprising:
-
aligning an undersampled frame comprising image data to a reference frame; assigning pixel values for pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frame to closest corresponding pixel locations in an upsampled reference frame; combining, for each upsampled pixel location, the pixel value or values assigned to the upsampled pixel location with a previously combined pixel value for the upsampled pixel location and incrementing a count of the number of pixel values assigned to the upsampled pixel location; repeating the aligning, the assigning, and the combining for a plurality of undersampled frames; and normalizing, for each upsampled pixel location, the combined pixel value by the count of the number of pixel values assigned to the upsampled pixel location to produce a resulting frame of image data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for processing undersampled image data, comprising:
-
an image capture device; and a processing device configured to process a plurality of undersampled frames comprising image data captured by the image capture device, wherein the processing device is configured to process the undersampled frames by aligning each undersampled frame to a reference frame, accumulating pixel values for pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frames, assigning the pixel values accumulated for the pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frames to closest corresponding pixel locations in an upsampled reference frame, and populating the upsampled frame with a combination of the assigned pixel values to produce a resulting frame of image data. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A system for processing undersampled image data, comprising:
-
an image capture device; and a processing device configured to align an undersampled frame comprising image data captured by the image capture device to a reference frame, assign pixel values for pixel locations in the aligned undersampled frame to closest corresponding pixel locations in an upsampled reference frame, and combine, for each upsampled pixel location, the pixel value or values assigned to the upsampled pixel location with a previously combined pixel value for the upsampled pixel location and increment a count of the number of pixel values assigned to the upsampled pixel location, wherein the processing device is configured to repeat the aligning, the assigning, and the combining for a plurality of undersampled frames and, for each upsampled pixel location, normalize the combined pixel value by the count of the number of pixel values assigned to the upsampled pixel location to produce a resulting frame of image data. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
