Abstract
An imaging apparatus with adjustable imaging plane, the apparatus having mechanical, electronic or optical devices to adjust the position and the orientation of the imaging plane, which successively captures a plurality of images while adjusting the imaging plane, and a method to integrate the captured images to a single high-resolution image by exploration of the mutual information not available in a single image, such as the sub-pixel observations due to the spatial misalignment, thus achieving an image resolution higher than the sensor resolution.
