Abstract
An imaging system for performing a hybrid spiral scan pattern includes scanner, a scanner controller in communication with the scanner to direct the scanner to perform a hybrid spiral scan pattern. When the hybrid spiral scan pattern includes a constant angular velocity (CAV) spiral scan pattern, a constant linear velocity (CLV) spiral scan pattern, and a transition spiral scan pattern. In some cases, the imaging system further includes a light source, and the scanner is positioned to receive light from the light source and direct the light to an object. In some cases, the imaging system further includes at least one position sensor for detecting actual positions of the scanner during the hybrid spiral scan pattern. In some cases, the imaging system further includes an image processor coupled to receive position data detected by at least one position sensor and produce an image.
