Abstract: Towards the development of a SHD (super high definition) image acquisition system, previously the authors developed the image-processing based approach with multiple cameras. Originally, in this approach, they used multiple cameras with the same pixel aperture, but in this case there needs to be severe limitations both in the arrangement of multiple cameras and in the configuration of the scene in order to guarantee the spatial uniformity of the resultant resolution. To overcome this difficulty completely, the authors have also previously presented the utilization of multiple cameras with different pixel apertures. The present paper develops a new, alternately iterative image processing algorithm available in the different aperture case. Experimental simulations clearly show that the alternately interactive algorithm behaves satisfactorily.<
