Abstract: A super-resolution-enhanced mosaic image generating system is provided for generating a super-resolution-enhanced mosaic image from a plurality of image frames, each image frame being associated with image data representative of an image of a portion of a scene. The mosaic image generating system comprises a mosaic image generator and a super-resolution generator. The mosaic image generator uses the image data from the image frames to generate mosaic image data representing a mosaic image. The super-resolution generator uses the mosaic image data and the image data from the image frames to generate the super-resolution-enhanced mosaic image. In that process, the super-resolution generator divides the mosaic image into a plurality of patches, each patch associated with at least one image frame, and performs a super-resolution operation in connection with the patch and image frames associated therewith to generate the super-resolution-enhanced mosaic image.

Abstract: An image processing system comprising and image recording system and an image rendering system. The image recording system records images of a scene, and comprises a recording device for recording images of the scene on a series of frames, each frame including image information reflecting the scene as illuminated at the time the frame was recorded, a plurality of individually-energizable light sources each for illuminating the scene; and a synchronizer connected to the recording device and the light sources for synchronizing the separate energization of the light sources and the recording by the recording device of the separate frames in the series. The image rendering system generates a rendered image which reflects a desired light source position.
