Handheld imager substitutes time/ motion for physical pixel density, with virtual resolution exceeding hardware's physical constraints

"high-altitude clarity without needing massive, heavy telescopic assemblies... too small pixels lose ability to capture enough photons/ high noise/ poor dynamic range, overcome slightly shifting sensor (or light path) recording same spot from slightly offset positions, real-time algorithms reconstruct 12 MP sensing with virtual 100 MP resolution retaining higher signal-to-noise ratio... medical imaging, autonomous vehicles, satellite/ drone reconnaissance"
