Claim One:
1. An image system configured to record a scanned image of an area, said system comprising: a single two-dimensional (2D) imager formed of a two-dimensional (2D) array of light detectors, wherein the 2D imager is operable in a line-scan mode effective to individually sequence an activated line of light detectors at a time; and a rotatable mirror configured to rotate about an axis parallel to a plane defined by the rotatable mirror, said rotation effective to vary an angle of the rotatable mirror to pan a projected image of the area across the 2D imager, wherein the angle of the rotatable mirror and the activated line of the 2D imager are synchronized such that the scanned image recorded by the 2D imager is inverted with respect to the projected image.
