I can imagine you can computationally unblur mosaic on video, if the object (e.g. face) is not changing, just the camera is moving around a little.

You can in fact do this, it is a technique known as Super-Resolution and has been around for at least a decade. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=5...

The most precise maps of Pluto were made with a similar technique: http://www.boulder.swri.edu/~buie/pluto/mapstory.html

That's really cool. I wonder if that could be used to get images of other planets.
