Gizmodo : Researchers have developed a new technique to boost the resolution of satellite images taken of a planet’s surface. Called Gotcha-PDE-TV (GPT), it combines multiple raw orbital photos of the same spot to enhance the details. Researchers demonstrated the technique with images captured by NASA’s HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Whereas the MRO can usually capture glimpses of objects as small as 25 cm, researchers were able to use the new technique to make out objects as small as 5 cm.
