Abstract
Techniques for using motion data to generate a high resolution output color image from multiple images having sparse color information are disclosed. A camera generates multiple images. The camera's sensor is configured to have a sparse Bayer pattern. While the camera is generating the images, IMU data for each image is acquired. The IMU data indicates a corresponding pose the camera was in while the camera generated each image. The images and the IMU data are fed as input into a motion model. The motion model performs temporal filtering on the images and uses the IMU data to generate a red-only image, a green-only image, and a blue-only image. A high resolution output color image is generated by combining the red-only image, the green-only image, and the blue-only image.
