An exemplary image simulation system accesses an image depicting imagery captured at a capture resolution from a capture vantage point. The image simulation system partitions the image into a plurality of simulated images, and determines a respective virtual resolution and a respective virtual vantage point for each of the simulated images in the plurality of simulated images. Each virtual resolution determined by the image simulation system is different from the capture resolution and each virtual vantage point determined by the image simulation system is different from the capture vantage point. The image simulation system represents each simulated image of the plurality of simulated images as a distinct image captured at the respective virtual resolution and from the respective virtual vantage point that have been determined for the simulated image. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed, including methods and systems for combining captured images to form a single simulated image.
