DUAL-AXIS SCANNING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An image acquisition system and method (300) may employ a non-orthogonal optical axis. The optical axis may be established in such a manner as to position a focal plane of an imaging device (310) in a selected orientation relative to the object space (390). Such selective positioning and orientation of the focal plane allows the integration of two coordinate axes and enables dual-axis scanning of the object space (390). In some embodiments, the focal plane may extend throughout the entire depth dimension of the object space (390).
