No, all sharpening algorithms basically just increase the contrast between edges in the image. If you come up with a way to create detail where there was none, get a patent and start scoping out mansions.

No algorithm can add valid information to an image that wasn't in the original. That would be like taking someone's phone number with two missing digits, running it through some program, and magically getting the original phone number out.
It's not possible even though they do it in the movies all the time.

i just thought there'd be something. even if the program just filled in the lines the best way it saw fit.
That's what all 'sharpening' functions in programs like Photo Shop do. The problem is that they can only fill in a best guess based on what limited information is available, and that can never be true to the original.
Now, if someone comes up with an algorithm to give computers psychic powers...

There always is on TV shows, they can take four pixels from the middle of an image and turn it into a perfectly legible license plate. In the real world, the sharpen filter in a decent graphics package might improve the image definition slightly but generally speaking you can't get back detail that isn't there.
Maybe we should all start taking large format images - http://www.gigapxl.org/ .

I watched a some program on UFO's and this researcher was using an old photo of a top secret millitary officer holding a top secret document. He was able to use a program similar to Photoshop to dicipher some of the text on the document. But even then it was really hard to figure it out. A lot of it was guess work in tryng to figure out which blur seem to look like the letter in the alphabet. Still interesting.
