Super-resolution image reconstruction using an observer of a motorized camera head

This paper proposes the integrated system to obtain a high-resolution image via a super-resolution image reconstruction by using the observer of a motorized head under control. An advantage of the integration is that the proposed method enables to algebraically calculate a registration and a motion blur identification, which is considered troublesome in the super-resolution process. Moreover, we perform some experiments to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
