ABSTRACT:
An optical detection system for forming an image of a field of view in an object plane onto an image plane in which the electromagnetic radiation image is transmitted to a detector array at the image plane via an optical distorting element such as a reflector11, so as to impose a non linear relationship between areas in the image and object planes.
