20120121208 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD - To obtain a high resolution image from two or more low resolution images, positional offsets among the low resolution images are determined and the low resolution images are mapped onto a common plane according to the positional offsets. Pixel values in the high resolution image are calculated by weighted interpolation from the pixel values of the low resolution images, using interpolation coefficients that increases with increasing correlation with the pixel of interest. Correlation is determined by taking horizontal and vertical first and second derivatives of the pixel values in one low resolution image to find a direction of strong correlation. Appropriate interpolation is thereby obtained even near edges and other abrupt changes in the image. | 05-17-2012 |
