<p>System (10) is an electro-optical system for effectively combining the pixels of two CCD arrays (32, 34) for enhanced resolution. Original image (22) is generated from an object (12) and then split into two complete images (24) and (26) by image multiplier (14). First CCD array (32) in first camera (16) receives image (24) and second CCD array (34) in second camera (18) receives image (26). CCD arrays (32) and (34) are respectively optically aligned with image multiplier (14) such that the image (24) received on CCD array (32) is offset one half pixel in the x dimension and the y dimension relative to the position of image (26) on CCD array (34). Camera (16) generates a first data set and camera (18) generates a second data set. The first and second data sets are meshed in a CPU, effectively creating a quadrupling of the number of pixels for the total system. In an alternative embodiment, two CCD arrays (32, 34) are housed in one camera and optically offset to achieve the same effect. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
