Method for increasing resolution in a camera
First Claim
1. A method of increasing resolution in a camera, comprising:
- a) ascertaining a pixel location in a first image for each of a plurality of identifiable image points, wherein a first particular identifiable image point among said plurality of identifiable image points is located in a first pixel in said first image;
b) ascertaining a pixel location in a second image for each of said plurality of identifiable image points;
c) determining a first region within said first pixel, said first region smaller than said first pixel, in which said first particular identifiable image point is located, based at least in part on the ascertained pixel locations of said plurality of identifiable image points in said first and second images; and
d) at least one of printing and displaying said first image with said first particular identifiable image point located in said first region.

Abstract
A method of increasing resolution in a camera includes: a) ascertaining a pixel location in a first image for each of a plurality of identifiable image points, where a first particular identifiable image point among the plurality of identifiable image points is located in a first pixel in the first image; b) ascertaining a pixel location in a second image for each of the plurality of identifiable image points; and c) determining a first region within the first pixel, the first region smaller than the first pixel, in which the first particular identifiable image point is located, based at least in part on the ascertained pixel locations of the plurality of identifiable image points in the first and second images.

11. A method of increasing resolution in a camera, comprising:
-
a) providing a first image having a plurality of pixels; b) ascertaining first pixel locations in said first image for a plurality of identifiable image points; c) determining first ranges for location relationships among the plurality of identifiable image points based at least in part on the first pixel locations; d) ascertaining corresponding second pixel locations in a second image for said plurality of identifiable image points; e) determining second ranges for location relationships among the plurality of identifiable image points based at least in part on the second pixel locations; f) combining said first and second ranges into third ranges; g) dividing at least some of said plurality of pixels in said first image into a plurality of pixel regions; h) determining pixel region locations for said plurality of identifiable image points based at least in part on and consistent with said third ranges; and i) at least one of printing and displaying said first image with said plurality of identifiable image points located in said pixel region locations. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
