A distributed aperture system includes a first aperture and a second aperture. The first aperture has a first field of regard and a first resolution. The second aperture has a second aperture and a second resolution and a second field of regard. The second field of regard overlaps the first field of regard and the second resolution is greater than the first resolution to provide high resolution heading information and low resolution peripheral information in a common 3D image for obstacle avoidance. Obstacle avoidance systems and imaging methods are also described.
