The resolution enhancements of real-time captured images

Thesis (M.Eng. and S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2002.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 77-78).This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.The resolution enhancement of real-time captured images is a problem that this thesis addresses in three ways. First, an improved color filter array interpolation algorithm is proposed, which offers high accuracy with reasonable performance. Second, the thesis discusses a mechanism in which real-time user feedback is given to aid in the capture and creation of mosaic images. Lastly, the practicality of these theoretical methods is evaluated by exploring their implementation. A system that was developed on a handheld computer platform for the purpose of proving the viability of these methods is investigated and assessed. The algorithms and methods proposed in this thesis achieve the objective of creating higher resolution images from real-time captured images.by Christopher J. Cheng.M.Eng.and S.B
