Systems and methods are provided for super-resolution imaging using 3-axis OIS. A super-resolution image may be created by enabling optical image stabilization (OIS) in three axes using an OIS system on a camera of an image capturing device; capturing an image of a scene using an image sensor of the camera; shifting the image on the image sensor by a predetermined subpixel amount; capturing the subpixel shifted image; and constructing a super-resolution image of the scene using the image and the subpixel shifted image. In one particular implementation, a position sensor may measure a positional drift of the image sensor after capturing the image. Using this measured positional drift, a time sufficient to shift the image sensor by a predetermined subpixel amount may be determined. The OIS may subsequently be disabled in one or two axes for the determined time.

To acquire a high-resolution frame from a plurality of frames sampled from a video image, it is necessary to obtain a high-resolution frame with reduced picture quality degradation regardless of motion of a subject included in the frame. Because of this, between a plurality of contiguous frames Fr_N and Fr_N+1, there is estimated a correspondent relationship. Based on the correspondent relationship, the frames Fr_N+1 and Fr_N are interposed to obtain first and second interpolated frames Fr_H1 and Fr_H2. Based on the correspondent relationship, the coordinates of the frame Fr_N+1 are transformed, and from a correlation value with the frame Fr_N, there is obtained a weighting coefficient α(x°, y°) that makes the weight of the first interpolated frame Fr_H1 greater as a correlation becomes greater. With the weighting coefficient, the first and second interpolated frames are weighted and added to acquire a synthesized frame Fr_G.
