MULTI-AXIS INTEGRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image acquisition system and method employing integration of image data obtained along an optical axis in conjunction with synchronized lateral translation in a lateral direction.

SOLUTION: An image acquisition system and method employing multi-axis integration (MAI) may incorporate both optical axis integration (OAI) and time-delay integration (TDI) techniques. Disclosed MAI systems and methods may integrate image data in the z direction as the data are acquired, projecting the image data prior to deconvolution. Lateral translation of the image plane during the scan in the z direction may allow large areas to be imaged in a single scan sequence.
