Abstract
A method and apparatus to capture a high resolution photograph of a target. A focal zone of a linear image sensing array is displaced across an area containing a target to be photographed. The displacement may be angular or linear with appropriate scaling to yield the end photograph. By changing the focal depth, relief of the target may be fully focused in one or more passes.
