The method can further include transforming the two or more sets of pixel data to generate two or more sets of frequency domain data. The method can further include upsampling each of the two or more sets of frequency domain data to generate a set of upsampled frequency domain data. The method can further include re-transforming the set of upsampled frequency domain data to generate two or more sets of second pixel data. The method can further include combining two or more sets of second pixel data to generate an enhanced image of the physical object. Other example methods, systems, and apparatuses are described.
