Abstract
The invention relates to a high-resolution imaging system for recording images of the same scene, that are sampled in a complementary manner. To this end, an image filter () is arranged in an intermediate focusing plane (PI), and a matrix () of microlenses is arranged at a distance from the image filter, with each microlens that is associated with an opening (O) of the image filter. An image detection matrix () is then optically conjugated with the microlens matrix. The system also comprises a device for moving an intermediate image in relation to the image filter (). Such an imaging system is especially suitable for recording high-resolution infrared images.
