Abstract
A camera device having a first lens forming a first light bundle_B a first sensor arranged within the first light bundle_B, to convert the first light bundle_B, into first image data at least a second lens, forming a second light bundle_B, at least a second sensor arranged within the second light bundle_B to convert the second light bundle_B into second image data. The first sensor and the second sensor are arranged in a common housing. The first sensor is arranged outside the second light bundle_B and the second sensor is arranged outside the first light bundle_B. The first lens and the first sensor and the second lens and the at least second sensor are arranged such that the first light bundle_B and the second light bundle_B overlap at least in part in the housing.
Claims15
A camera device, comprising:
- a first lens configured to form a first light bundle_B in a case of a first light bundle_A passing through the first lens;
- a first sensor arranged within the first light bundle_B and configured to convert the first light bundle_B, which impinges on the first sensor, into first image data of a surroundings;
- at least a second lens configured to form a second light bundle_B in case of a second light bundle_A passing through the at least second lens;
- at least a second sensor arranged within the second light bundle_B and configured to convert the second light bundle_B, which impinges on the at least second sensor, into second image data of the surroundings;
- a common housing in which the first sensor and the at least second sensor are arranged;
- wherein the first sensor is arranged outside the second light bundle_B;
- wherein the at least second sensor is arranged outside the first light bundle_B;
- wherein the first lens and the first sensor and the at least second lens and the at least second sensor are arranged such that the first light bundle_B and the second light bundle_B overlap in a part in the common housing;
- a first optical axis is formed by the first lens together with the first sensor;
- a second optical axis is formed by the at least second lens with the at least second sensor;
- and
- wherein the first lens, the first sensor, the at least second lens and the at least second sensor are arranged such that the first optical axis and the second optical axis intersect one another within the common housing.
