Multi-camera Imaging System Using Super-Resolution

This work presents a high-resolution image acquisition system by combining a multi-camera imaging system composed of multiple low-resolution digital cameras and a color super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm. Aligned and adjusted multiple mini-cameras and the controlling system consist the multi-camera imaging system. Some of the cameras obtain intensity information and the other ones receive color information. The spatial intensity information is enhanced by the Bayesian super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm. The high-resolution intensity data and the color channel inputs are merged to generate the final color composite high-resolution image. With experimental results, the performance of the proposed system is assessed.
