A technique of reconstructing a high resolution image from at least one
image sequence of temporally related high and low resolution image frames
wherein each of said high resolution image frames includes a low spatial
frequency component and a high spatial frequency component is described.
The high-resolution image reconstruction technique uses spatial
interpolation to generate a low spatial frequency component from a
low-resolution image frame of the image sequence. The technique is
adapted to generate a high spatial frequency component from at least one
high resolution image frame of the image sequence which is closely
related to the low resolution image frame, and to remap the high spatial
frequency component to a motion-compensated high spatial frequency
component estimate of the low resolution image frame. The
motion-compensated high spatial frequency component estimate is added to
the generated low spatial frequency component to form a reconstructed
high-resolution image of the low-resolution image frame.
