Abstract
A system is disclosed that includes a detector and a combination of lenses and mirrors as imaging optics configured to provide for block by block compressive sensing of an imaged scene with the block by block determined by a plurality of shift-invariant masks to produce an image of the scene of the detector. A resolution of the image through the combination of lenses and mirrors is provided at the detector greater than a resolution capability of the detector at the detector. Another system and a method are also disclosed.
