Overview: There are no existing book references regarding image mosaicing or super-resolution applied to video image sequence.There are of course many unpublished dissertations, journal articles and technical rThis book investigates sets of images consisting of many overlapping viewsofa scene, and how the information contained within them may be combined to produce single images of superior quality. The generic name for such techniques is frame fusion. Using frame fusion, it is possible to extend the fieldof view beyond that ofany single image, to reduce noise, to restore high-frequency conten
