A system and method for increasing image resolution in a palm print scanner. The method of the invention requires the synchronization of a nutating mirror with a camera frame sync. A first image is scanned at a first nutation position. The mirror is nutated by a fraction of a pixel amount in one direction. Another image is scanned at a second nutation position. The process of nutating the mirror to a different nutation position and scanning an image is repeated until all sub-pixels needed to increase an image resolution are obtained. All of the sub-pixels obtained are then interlaced to obtain a higher resolution image.

This scanning array scans an area around the array for nearby objects, collision obstructions, and terrain topography. The scanning array can scan for sounds emitted by objects in the vicinity of the scanning array, passive energy receipt sources, or it can also send out an energy beam and scan for reflections from objects within the energy beam. The energy beam can be optical, laser, radar or other energy emitting sources. The scanning array of the invention can be used for helicopter detection and avoidance of collision risk and can be used for other scanning purposes. Scanning of an entire hemisphere or greater is accomplished by manipulating the scanner platform through the coordination of either linear actuators or gimbals so as to produce nutation without rotation. This motion allows transceivers to be directly coupled to transmitting and sensing modules without the losses associated with slip rings and other coupling devices.
