A high resolution imaging system includes an imaging camera array creating a sets or frames of array images of a scene and a reference camera creating reference images of the same scene. A synchronization controller coordinates imaging of the scene by the imaging camera array and the reference camera. An image processor merges the sets of array images into high resolution images and apply a color correction to the high resolution images based on reference images. Color correction can be performed on the merged high resolution image or on individual array images prior to merger into the high resolution image.
