A method for recording an image of an object from a flying body which flies over the object, said method comprising: (A) optically scanning the object at a viewing angle with respect to a direction of flight, in lines lying essentially transverse to the direction of flight; (B) increasing the viewing angle with respect to the direction of flight during said scanning; and (C) combining the scanned image lines to form an overall image, characterized in that said method further comprises: (D) optically scanning said object simultaneously at different viewing angles; and (E) simultaneously increasing said viewing angles over a limited angular range in a cyclic manner with reference to the direction of flight and subsequently returning said viewing angles to their initial values, said viewing angles being selected and cyclically changing so that image segments composed from the image lines recorded during one cycle are directly adjacent to each other and correspond to surface strips on the object scanned under the differing viewing angles.
