Abstract
Most existing super-resolution (SR) imaging systems, inspired by the bionic compound eye, utilize image registration and reconstruction algorithms to overcome the angular resolution limitations of individual imaging systems. This article introduces a multi-aperture multi-focal-length imaging system and a multi-focal-length image super-resolution algorithm, mimicking the foveal imaging of the human eye. Experimental results demonstrate that with the proposed imaging system and an SR imaging algorithm inspired by the human visual system, the proposed method can enhance the spatial resolution of the foveal region by up to 4 × compared to the original acquired image. These findings validate the effectiveness of the proposed imaging system and computational imaging algorithm in enhancing image texture and spatial resolution.
