Claim Text:
1. A camera system for producing super resolution images, the camera system comprising: a lens; a detector array configured to capture an image focused through the lens onto a focal plane; a transducer coupled to one of the lens and the detector array, the transducer configured to convert electrical signals into mechanical energy and impart motion to the one of the lens and the detector array over a predetermined time period, the detector array capturing a plurality of images over the predetermined time period; a control unit in communication with the transducer, the control unit configured to divide the detector array into sub-pixels and send signals to the transducer to move the one of the lens and the detector array outside a boundary of the image projected onto the focal plane to form a border of a reference array during at least at of the predetermined time period; and a processing unit in communication with the control unit, the processing unit configured to determine a light intensity of each of the sub-pixels from the plurality of images and combine the light intensities of the sub-pixels to produce a single image, the sub-pixels of the border of the reference array having light intensities of zero.
