Conclusion

• Jitters proved to be important.
• Current UCSC-MSDP software is not able to handle
  jitters
• Other superresolution imagery algorithm
  (Vorontsov) will be implemented.
• In either algorithm, we may need to solve the
  jitter issue first through processing (optic
  flow) and then attempts both superresolution
  algorithms.
• Jitter issue may also have to be addressed at the
  hardware level (Inertial information, heavy
  base,.)
