Abstract
A system for generating an image of a space includes a camera having an image plane and a field of view. A reflective surface is positioned within the field of view of the camera and configured to reflect radiation from the space onto the image plane of the camera. The camera occludes radiation from being received at the reflective surface from an area of the space and the reflective surface is configured such that the occluded area is of substantially constant or decreasing area with increasing distance into the space.
