  • Patent number: 8223202
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an airborne reconnaissance system for capturing images in a wide field of regard which comprises: (a) An array of a plurality of n prisms being one next to the other, each prism having an essentially flat and rectangular front surface, and at least an output surface wherein: (a1) a front surface of each of the plurality of prism is being directed toward a different section of a strip of terrain transversal to the flight direction of the aircraft, thereby collecting light rays coming mostly from that terrain strip section; (a2) each output surface of each of the prisms directs light rays which are received through said front prism surface toward a front lens of an optical unit; (b) A focal plane array; (c) Optical unit comprising a front lens, the front lens receiving light separately but simultaneously through the output surfaces of all the prisms, said optical unit comprises addition optics for directing the light received from said lens thereby to produce separate correspond

  • Patent number: 7576925
    Abstract: A terrestrial imaging device includes an objective lens which accepts light within an intrinsic angular field of view onto a focal plane and two pairs of plane mirrors. The first pair of plane mirrors reflects a first light incoming ray sequentially to produce first and second reflected light rays within a roughly horizontal plane, the second reflected ray being focused by the objective lens on the focal plane. The second pair of plane mirrors reflects a second incoming ray sequentially to produce third and fourth reflected light rays within a roughly vertical plane, the fourth reflected light ray being focused by the objective lens on the focal plane.

  • Patent number: 7154085
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring a region of interest are presented. Incident radiation is transmitted towards the region of interest with a certain transmitting angle and with a predetermined angular intensity distribution of the incident radiation. The transmitting angle defines a plane of propagation of the incident radiation, the region of interest being located within this plane. Reflections of the incident radiation are collected with a solid angle of collection intersecting with said plane. A region of intersection presents a detecting window of a predetermined geometry containing at least a portion of the region of interest. The collected radiation coming from within the detecting window is detected, and output signals indicative thereof are generated.
