Abstract:
A method for generating a super-resolution image and related device is provided. In one aspect, the method comprises: receiving a first low-resolution image and a second low-resolution image, the first low-resolution image and second low-resolution image have a first spatial resolution and having been captured simultaneously by a pair of pixel arrays of a common image sensor, wherein the pixel arrays of the image sensor are located as to be diagonally shifted from each other by a sub-pixel increment; adaptively enhancing the first low-resolution and the second low-resolution images to generate an enhanced first low-resolution image and an enhanced second low-resolution image, respectively; mapping (e.g., non-uniformly) pixels of each of the enhanced first and second low-resolution images to a super-resolution grid having a spatial resolution greater than the first spatial resolution to generate a first intermediate super-resolution image and a second intermediate super-resolution image, respectively; and combining the first intermediate super-resolution image and second intermediate super-resolution image to generate a composite super-resolution image.
