ABSTRACT:
In an imaging device for imaging a target, a photodetector with a two-dimensional light sensitive pixel area is provided. The two-dimensional light sensitive pixel area is divided into a plurality of split pixel areas. An imaging optics defines a plurality of segments of an FOV (field of view). The plurality of segments of the FOV respectively correspond to the plurality of split pixel areas of the photodetector. The imaging optics aligns, in a predetermined direction, the plurality of segments of the FOV to form a predetermined-direction oriented FOV so that the target is at least partially contained in the predetermined-direction oriented FOV.
