Google uses it in Google camera. They're not shifting the sensor themselves, but they take advantage of the camera shake users introduce by taking handheld photos.

Yes I'm very familiar with this but this is just MISR i.e. purely a software solution (Peyman Milanfar is one of the original researchers associated with MISR). Fortunately elsewhere in this thread hardware implementations have been demonstrated.

There are hardware implementations referenced in the blog post, and in the linked published paper.

> In the early 2000s, Farsiu et al. [2006] and Gotoh and Okutomi [2004]formulated superresolution from arbitrary motion as an optimization problem that would be infeasible for interactive rates. Ben-Ezraet al. [2005] created a jitter camera prototype to do super-resolution using controlled subpixel detector shifts. This and other works inspired some commercial cameras (e.g.,Sony A6000,Pentax FF K1,Olympus OM-D E-M1orPanasonic Lumix DC-G9) to adopt multi-frame techniques, using controlled pixel shifting of the physical sensor. However, these approaches require the use of a tripod or a static scene.

damn the Ben-Ezra paper is exactly what i imagined being the scope of work for my planned dissertation. guess it's a good thing i didn't pursue it lol.
