Patent ID: 8675119

Claim:
A system for adaptively imaging a scene, comprising: a digital light processing apparatus adapted for controllably reflecting at least first and second images of said scene in at least a first direction based on control data to thereby generate corresponding first and second intensity modulated images of said scene; an image detector, optically coupled to said digital light processing apparatus along said first direction of reflection, for detecting said first and second intensity modulated images corresponding to said at least first and second images of said scene and generating first and second detected image data corresponding to said at least first and second images; and an image data processor, coupled to said image detector and receiving said first and second detected image data therefrom, and coupled to said digital light processing apparatus, for processing said first detected image data into first control data, providing said first control data to said digital light processing apparatus for adaptive control thereof, and generating output image data from said second detected image data and said first control data, said output image data having a quality greater than said first detected image data or said second detected image data.
