Patent Images

1. A method of generating a high resolution image of a scene using an imager array including a plurality of imagers that each capture an image of the scene, and a forward imaging transformation for each imager, the method comprising:

  • obtaining input images using the plurality of imagers;

    determining an initial estimate of at least a portion of a high resolution image using a plurality of pixels from the input images;

    determining a high resolution image that when mapped through the forward imaging transformation matches the input images to within at least one predetermined criterion using the initial estimate of at least a portion of the high resolution image;

    wherein each forward imaging transformation corresponds to the manner in which each imager in the imaging array generate the input images; and

    wherein the high resolution image has a resolution that is greater than any of the input images.
