Abstract

An imaging system and method are presented for use in imaging with zoom. The system comprises a pixel detector array (PDA), an optical focusing arrangement, and a spatial filter configured and operable to selectively switch between at least two transmitting states. Distributions of an optical resolution of the optical focusing arrangement and of a geometrical resolution of the PDA define an aliasing window along an at least one direction.
