Claim 5:
6. The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the processor and memory circuitry is configured to, for a plurality of different scenes SC1 to SCN, with N>1, repetitively perform, from I equal to 1 up to I equal to N:
(O0,i) while a line of sight of the camera is maintained fixedly oriented towards a target of a scene SCi:
(O1,i) control the camera to acquire, by each of one or more pixel bands of the sensor located at a current position relative to the camera, an image of a fraction of scene SCi,
(O2,i) 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,i) control the camera to acquire, by each of one or more pixel bands of the sensor located at the new position relative to the camera, an image of a fraction of at least scene SGi,
wherein motion of the sensor at O2,I from the current position to the new position is performed during a first period of time PT1,I, and the sensor is retained stationary at the new position during a second period of time PT2,I, wherein acquisition of the image at O3,I is performed during a third period of time PT3,I, wherein at least a majority of the third period of time PT3,I is within the second period of time PT2,I,
(O3,i) revert to operation O2,I,
wherein, after a period of time, I is incremented by one and it is reverted to operation O0,i.
