Abstract
A method to generate super-resolution images using a sequence of low resolution images is disclosed. The method includes generating an estimated high resolution image, motion estimating between the estimated high resolution image and comparison images from the sequence of low resolution images, motion-compensated back projecting, and motion-free back projecting that results in a super resolved image. A corresponding system for generating super-resolution images includes a high resolution image estimation module, a motion estimating module, a motion-compensated back projection module, a motion-free back projection module, an input interface, and an output interface.
