Claim:
1. A method of producing a higher resolution image of a target with an imaging sensor associated with an optical image stabilization (OIS) module, comprising the steps of: determining, from the target size, resolution requirements of the image to be produced; capturing multiple individual lower resolution images of the target, a minimum number of individual images captured being based upon the resolution requirements determined in the determining resolution requirements step; moving the OIS module to specific positions between the capturing of the individual lower resolution images in the capturing multiple lower resolution images step, the specific positions being based upon the resolution requirements in the determining resolution requirements step; and processing the multiple lower resolution images to produce a higher resolution image by producing a blurred image with super resolution of the target from the captured multiple lower resolution images and de-blurring the blurred higher resolution image to generate a higher resolution image.
