Device and Method

An image acquisition system with motion compensation is disclosed. Embodiments of the system include: includes a rectilinear lens assembly, a first 2D-image sensor, and a motion compensation module. The rectilinear lens assembly has an optical axis, an object plane, and a focal plane. During an image acquisition cycle, the rectilinear lens assembly is positioned such that the optical axis is orthogonal to the object plane while the first 2D-image sensor is parallel to the object plane. The motion compensation module can determine a motion vector of an image scene in the object plane. In response the determined motion vector, the rectilinear lens assembly and the first 2D-image sensor relative are translated relative to each other in two dimensions to compensate for the motion of the image scene.
