Systems and methods to super resolve a user-selected region of interest

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are described for efficiently super resolving a portion of an image. One embodiment involves capturing, using a camera module of a device, at least one image of a scene, and creating a higher resolution image of a user selected region of interest. The super resolution of the region of interest may be performed by matching a high resolution grid with a grid that is at the resolution of a device camera, populating the high resolution grid with information from an image from the camera, and then populating the remaining points of the grid that are not yet populated.

Description

Background technique [0001] Aspects of the invention relate to image processing, and in particular, to systems and methods for super-resolution of portions of a scene. In recent decades, the use of electronic devices has become widespread. Specifically, advances in electronics technology have lowered the cost of increasingly complex and useful electronic devices. Cost reductions and consumer demand have dramatically increased the use of electronic devices, making them ubiquitous in modern society. As the use of electronic devices has spread, new and improved features of electronic devices are desired. Rather, electronic devices are often sought to perform functions faster, more efficiently, or of higher quality. [0002] Devices such as digital cameras, phones with built-in cameras, or other camera or sensor devices may be used to create and store images of the scene. In many cases, a large number of factors limit and degrade the quality of captured images, such as atmosph...

Problems solved by technology

Super-resolution is a resource-intensive process, and super-resolution of an entire scene may take a greater amount of time or device resources than the device user prefers
