An imaging system for an aircraft is disclosed. The imaging system comprises one or more image sensors configured to image a surrounding environment of the aircraft, a light source configured to emit light, a mask including one or more prisms configured to direct the light, and one or more pinholes configured pass the light directed from the one or more prisms, and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more image sensors. The controller is configured to: receive an image of the surrounding environment of the aircraft from the one or more image sensors, wherein the image includes an artifact based on the light passed by the one or more pinholes; determine centroid data and extent data of the artifact in the image; and determine an orientation of the artifact in the image with respect to a calibration artifact using the centroid data and the extent data.
