Assignee: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An imaging system comprising:
at least one camera, comprising at least one sensor comprising one or more pixel bands each configured to acquire an image of a fraction of a scene, wherein the sensor is movable, by at least one actuator, relative to the camera along at least one direction,
a processor and memory circuitry configured to,
while a line of sight of the camera is maintained fixedly oriented towards a target of a scene:
(O1) control the camera to acquire an image by each of the pixel bands of the sensor located at a current position relative to the camera,
(O2) send a command to the actuator to move the sensor relative to the camera along the at least one direction, from the current position to a new position, and
(O3) control the camera to acquire an image by each of the pixel bands of the sensor,
wherein motion of the sensor at O2 from the current position to the new position is performed during a period of time PT1, and the sensor is retained stationary at the new position during a period of time PT2,

wherein acquisition of the image by each of the pixel bands of the sensor at O3 is performed during period of time PT3, wherein at least a majority of the period of time PT3 is within the period of time PT2.
