Using captured high and low resolution images
First Claim
1. A method for using low resolution images and at least one high resolution image of a scene captured by an image capture device to provide an improved high resolution image, comprising:
- capturing, using the image capture device, a plurality of low resolution images of the scene and at least one high resolution image of the scene having a resolution greater than that of the low resolution images;
combining, using an infinite impulse response filter, the low resolution images to provide an aggregate low resolution image; and
combining the high resolution image with the aggregate low resolution image to provide the improved high resolution image by;
reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide an image representative of a low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device;
interpolating the representative low resolution image to provide an interpolated high resolution image;
calculating a residual image from the high resolution image and the interpolated high resolution image;
combining the representative low resolution image and the aggregate low resolution image to provide a final low resolution image; and
providing the improved high resolution image using the final low resolution image and the residual image.

Abstract
A method for producing an improved high resolution image is disclosed including capturing low resolution images and a high resolution image; combining the low resolution images to provide an aggregate low resolution image; reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide an image representative of a low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device; interpolating the representative low resolution image to provide an interpolated high resolution image; calculating a residual image from the high resolution image and the interpolated high resolution image; combining the representative low resolution image and the aggregate low resolution image to provide a final low resolution image; and using the final low resolution image and the residual image to provide the improved high resolution image.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for providing an improved high resolution image using low resolution images and at least one high resolution image of a scene captured by an image capture device, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions for capturing, using the image capture device, a plurality of low resolution images of the scene and at least one high resolution image of the scene having a resolution greater than that of the low resolution images; instructions for combining, using an infinite impulse response filter, the low resolution images to provide an aggregate low resolution image; and instructions for combining the high resolution image with the aggregate low resolution image to provide the improved high resolution image by; reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide an image representative of a low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device; interpolating the representative low resolution image to provide an interpolated high resolution image; calculating a residual image from the high resolution image and the interpolated high resolution image; combining the representative low resolution image and the aggregate low resolution image to provide a final low resolution image; and providing the improved high resolution image using the final low resolution image and the residual image. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for providing an improved high resolution image using low resolution images and at least one high resolution image of a scene captured by an image capture device, comprising:
a processing system configured to; capture, using the image capture device, a plurality of low resolution images of the scene and at least one high resolution image of the scene having a resolution greater than that of the low resolution images; combine, using an infinite impulse response filter, the low resolution images to provide an aggregate low resolution image; and combine the high resolution image with the aggregate low resolution image to provide the improved high resolution image by; reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide an image representative of a low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device; interpolating the representative low resolution image to provide an interpolated high resolution image; calculating a residual image from the high resolution image and the interpolated high resolution image; combining the representative low resolution image and the aggregate low resolution image to provide a final low resolution image; and providing the improved high resolution image using the final low resolution image and the residual image. - View Dependent Claims (20)
