A digital camera system for super resolution image processing is provided. The digital camera system includes a resolution enhancement module configured to receive at least a portion of an image, to increase the resolution of the received image, and to output a resolution enhanced image and an edge extraction module configured to receive the resolution enhanced image, to extract at least one edge of the resolution enhanced image, and to output the extracted at least one edge of the resolution enhanced image, the at least one edge being a set of contiguous pixels where an abrupt change in pixel values occur. The digital camera system also includes an edge enhancement module configured to receive the resolution enhanced image and the extracted at least one edge, and to combine the extracted at least one edge or a derivation of the extracted at least one edge with the resolution enhanced image.
