Resolution from a 5 second video VS single camera image

Question

Assume I have a 5-second video from my smartphone (camera is not moving just the normal shaking of the hand) and then I have a single image from the same smartphone.

Can I convert the 5-second video into a new image which has a higher resolution than the other image?

From an information standpoint: I'm collecting more data so I should be able to reduce the noise and merge the frames into a single image. Has somebody done research on this? What if I use a 20-second video instead?

Also, this might be related to super-resolution for videos, for example, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.02738v1.pdf but I haven't found a comparison.

Answer 1

This is totally possible. See this link to see it in action. What you would do is just convert your video into a series of images. Better yet, do what the article says and do a burst of images. Why a burst instead of video? Because highest picture quality has about 4x the resolution as highest video quality on a phone.
