Increased resolution through motion (IMAGE)
Caption
It doesn’t take an expert photographer to know that the steadier the camera, the sharper the shot. But that conventional wisdom isn’t always true, according to new research led by Brown University engineers. The researchers showed that, with the help of a clever algorithm, a camera in motion can produce higher-resolution images than a camera held completely still.
Images on the left were taken by a camera that was moving during exposure. Images on the right used the algorithm to increase their resolution with imformation captured by the camera's motion.
