<p>A digital camera has an image sensor and an optical system for focusing a scene on the image sensor. A zooming system is used for changing a zoom rate of the scene that is focused on the image sensor. By operating the zooming system during the recording of a series of images, each of the images has a different zoom rate and therefore a different level of detail and field of view. The images are combined to form one still image of super high resolution. The zoom rate between images is detected by using horizontal and vertical pixel intensity value projection distributions in both forward and backward prediction methods. Horizontal and vertical candidate projection distributions that are correlated to a range of possible zoom rates are compared with the horizontal and vertical projection distributions of the former and current images being processed to determine a least error match that is selected as the zoom rate between the adjacent images. Using the image to image zoom rate, a scaling factor is determined that is used for scaling each current image before overwriting the current image over the former images previously written to the image buffer. In this way, the detail of each image in the series is written to the image buffer and a super high resolution, wide angle still image is formed that can be stored and displayed. <IMAGE></p> |
