Abstract
A method of using an imaging system including a focal plane with one or more detectors, a lens optically coupled to the focal plane, a transparent plate optically coupled to the focal plane and lens, and an actuator coupled to the transparent plate, includes receiving, at a first area of the focal plane through the lens, light from an object at a first time. The imaging system is located in a first position relative to the object at the first time. The method also includes causing the actuator to move the transparent plate in response to movement of the imaging system relative to the object and receiving, at the first area of the focal plane through the lens, light from the object at a second time. The imaging system is located in a second position relative to the object at the second time.
