Abstract
Some embodiments provide methods of increasing a resolution of multimedia content. Some of those methods comprising: identifying an uprendering matrix, wherein the uprendering matrix is dependent on a resulting resolution of resulting multimedia content having the increased resolution; and for each source image of the multimedia content: defining a reference image of the source image from the multimedia content, wherein the reference image has a resolution that is the same as an original resolution of the source image; defining multiple shifted images of the source image, wherein each of the multiple shifted images corresponds with one of the elements of the uprendering matrix; and coalescing pixels from each of the reference image and the shifted images creating an uprendered image having a higher resolution than the reference image.
