Method And Apparatus For High Resolution Digital Photography From Multiple Image Sensor Frames

摘要

A camera system has a lens focusing incoming light through a deflector system having at least one deflector plate onto a photosensor array. An image processor captures at least a first image with the deflector system in a first position and a second image with the deflector system in a second position to provide a focal point offset in a first axis on the photosensor array, and the firmware is configured to prepare an enhanced image from at least the first and second images. A method of imaging includes focusing incoming light through a deflector system having at least one deflector plate onto a photosensor array; receiving at least a first image with the deflector system in a first position; receiving a second image with the deflector system configured providing a focal point offset on the photosensor array; and preparing an enhanced image from the first and second images.
