1. An imaging system, comprising:
imaging optics;
field segmentation optics, wherein the field segmentation optics are located in an optical path defined at least in part by the imaging optics, between an exit pupil of the imaging optics and a focal plane of the imaging optics, and wherein the field segmentation optics define a plurality of component images; and
a plurality of detectors, wherein at least one detector in the plurality of detectors is provided for each of the component images, and wherein a first component image in the plurality of component images encompasses a first sub-area of an area of a scene that at least partially overlaps a second sub-area of the area of the scene encompassed by a second component image in the plurality of component images.
