Abstract
Optical imaging apparatus and method of operating the same, where the apparatus includes optics configured to provide a first optical channel and a second optical channel through the optics, a two-dimensional image sensor optically coupled to the optics, the two-dimensional image sensor configured to receive a first optical signal from the first optical channel and provide a two-dimensional image, a one-dimensional image sensor assembly optically coupled to the optics and sharing a same line of sight, the one-dimensional image sensor assembly configured to receive a second optical signal from the second optical channel at a one-dimensional image sensor therein to provide an image with an overlapping coverage area in the two-dimensional image, and at least one processor configured to operate the two-dimensional image sensor and the one-dimensional image sensor assembly.
