A method for using low resolution images and at least one high resolution image of a scene captured by the same image capture device to provide an improved high resolution image, comprising: a) using the image capture device to capture a plurality of low resolution images of the scene and at least one high resolution image of the scene (440, 610) having a resolution greater than that of the low resolution images; b) combining the low resolution images to provide an aggregate low resolution image; and c) combining the high resolution image with the aggregate low resolution image to provide the improved high resolution image by: i) interpolating the aggregate low resolution image to provide an aggregate high resolution image; ii) reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide a representative low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device; iii) interpolating the representative low resolution image to produce a blurred high resolution image; iv) computing the difference between the aggregate high resolution image and the blurred high resolution image to form a residual image (660,860) v) converting the residual image to an image difference map (670, 730) which represents the degree of matching or mismatching between pixels due to motion in the scene during capture; and vi) using the image difference map along with the aggregate high resolution image and the high resolution image to produce an improved high resolution image by: A) producing a blurred high resolution image; B) reducing the noise in the high resolution image to produce a noise-reduced high resolution image; and C) using the residual image (660, 860), the reduced-noise high resolution image and the image difference map (670, 730) to form an improved high resolution image. a) using the image capture device to capture a plurality of low resolution images of the scene and at least one high resolution image of the scene (440, 610) having a resolution greater than that of the low resolution images; b) combining the low resolution images to provide an aggregate low resolution image; and c) combining the high resolution image with the aggregate low resolution image to provide the improved high resolution image by: i) interpolating the aggregate low resolution image to provide an aggregate high resolution image; ii) reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide a representative low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device; iii) interpolating the representative low resolution image to produce a blurred high resolution image; iv) computing the difference between the aggregate high resolution image and the blurred high resolution image to form a residual image (660,860) v) converting the residual image to an image difference map (670, 730) which represents the degree of matching or mismatching between pixels due to motion in the scene during capture; and vi) using the image difference map along with the aggregate high resolution image and the high resolution image to produce an improved high resolution image by: A) producing a blurred high resolution image; B) reducing the noise in the high resolution image to produce a noise-reduced high resolution image; and C) using the residual image (660, 860), the reduced-noise high resolution image and the image difference map (670, 730) to form an improved high resolution image. i) interpolating the aggregate low resolution image to provide an aggregate high resolution image; ii) reducing the resolution of the high resolution image to provide a representative low resolution image that could have been captured by the image capture device; iii) interpolating the representative low resolution image to produce a blurred high resolution image; iv) computing the difference between the aggregate high resolution image and the blurred high resolution image to form a residual image (660,860) v) converting the residual image to an image difference map (670, 730) which represents the degree of matching or mismatching between pixels due to motion in the scene during capture; and vi) using the image difference map along with the aggregate high resolution image and the high resolution image to produce an improved high resolution image by: A) producing a blurred high resolution image; B) reducing the noise in the high resolution image to produce a noise-reduced high resolution image; and C) using the residual image (660, 860), the reduced-noise high resolution image and the image difference map (670, 730) to form an improved high resolution image. A) producing a blurred high resolution image; B) reducing the noise in the high resolution image to produce a noise-reduced high resolution image; and C) using the residual image (660, 860), the reduced-noise high resolution image and the image difference map (670, 730) to form an improved high resolution image.
