IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS AND IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD FOR GENERATING HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127398 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS AND IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD FOR GENERATING HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The image capturing apparatus described in the patent application utilizes a method for pixel shifting to capture a plurality of images. The processor in the apparatus determines specific regions in each image, calculates the number of times each image should be captured based on these regions, adjusts the pixel shift amount accordingly, and then synthesizes the regions of all the images together.
