A sensor assembly including a detector; a first arrangement for enhancing
the resolution of the detector; and a second arrangement for increasing
the field-of-view of the detector. In a specific implementation, the
detector is a focal plane array of detectors, the first arrangement is a
Hadamard mask and the second arrangement is a telescope array with a
field-bias element operationally coupled thereto. The field bias optical
element is implemented with a prism and grating such as a grism. An
arrangement is included for actuating the mask to selectively enable a
desired level of resolution and another arrangement is included for
actuating the field bias element to select a desired field of view. An
arrangement for effecting image motion compensation is included along
with an imager, an image processor and a data processor. The telescope
array may include refractive elements, reflective elements, and/or
catadioptric elements. Likewise, the imager may be refractive, reflective
and/or catadioptric.
