multimegapixel
Multimegapixel is a term used to describe image outputs that surpass a single megapixel resolution by combining data from multiple captures or sensors. In practice, multimegapixel imaging relies on computational techniques to produce an image with a higher effective resolution than any individual sensor frame could provide. The term is often used in discussions of high-resolution photography, where the goal is to retain fine detail and broad tonal range while preserving flexibility for cropping and large prints.
Techniques commonly employed include pixel shift, in which a sensor is moved by sub-pixel amounts across several
Applications include landscape photography, product and art reproduction, archival imaging, and scientific imaging where maximum detail
Limitations include sensitivity to motion, misalignment, and parallax between frames, increased capture time and data storage,
