Two approaches for image-processing based high resolution image acquisition

Towards the development of a super high definition image acquisition system, we have proposed an image-processing based approach, i.e. the introduction of image processing techniques into an imaging process. Imaging methods based on this approach can be classified into two main categories: a spatial integration imaging method and a temporal integration imaging method. With regard to the spatial integration imaging method, we have presented previously a method for acquiring an improved-resolution image by integrating multiple images taken simultaneously with multiple cameras with different pixel apertures. In addition to the spatial integration imaging method, aimed at a particular surveillance application, we construct a temporal integration imaging method. Experimental simulations demonstrate that temporal integration imaging is as promising as spatial integration imaging for high resolution imaging.< >
