A system is provided that includes an optical arrangement, an assembly of a plurality of detectors, and a signal processor. The optical arrangement is capable of viewing a scene that includes an object, where the scene is capable of moving through a field of view of the optical arrangement during each of a plurality of transit periods. The detectors of the assembly are arranged in a vertical scanning direction corresponding to a direction of movement of the scene, and are separately capable of producing an image of the object for each transit period in accordance with a time-delay integration technique. The signal processor, then, is capable of determining the angular position of the object for each transit period based upon the images produced by the detectors.
