Imaging device for producing high resolution images using subpixel shifts and method of using same

摘要

An imaging device for producing a high resolution image of a target with an imaging sensor and a method using the same is provided. The method is comprised of the steps of: determining, from the target size, resolution requirements of the image to be produced; capturing multiple individual low resolution images of the target, a minimum number of individual images captured being based upon the resolution requirements determined in the determining resolution requirements step; moving the OIS module to specific positions between the capturing of the individual low resolution images in the capturing multiple low resolution images step, the specific positions being based upon the resolution requirements in the determining resolution requirements step; and processing the multiple low resolution images to produce a high resolution image.
