Yes, this technique is usually called "superresolution", for example: http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~milanfar/SR-Software.htm > I have an idea, It might be done already or not feasable at all. > Scanning a orignal image(Painting/drawing) the maximum resolution is > dictated by the scanner hardware. For oil paintings, the smallest features are the hairline cracks in the paint surface at around 0.1mm. So there's no point going beyond about 20 pixels/mm, or about 600 dpi. This is easy to achieve with conventional lenses and large-format cameras. The other factor is reproduction. What are you going to use all that detail for? At 600 dpi you can make a high quality 2x lifesize print. How often do you need to print larger than that?
