Abstract
A multi-aperture imaging device includes image sensor means with a plurality of image sensor areas and a plurality of optical channels, wherein each optical channel includes an optic for imaging a partial field of view of a total field of view onto an image sensor area of the image sensor means associated with the optical channel. The plurality of optical channels is configured to image the total field of view completely. A first partial field of view of the total field of view and a second partial field of view of the total field of view are captured by a different number of optical channels.
Claims31
Multi-aperture imaging device, comprising:
- an image sensor unit with a plurality of image sensor regions;
- a plurality of optical channels, wherein each optical channel comprises an optic for imaging a partial field of view of a total field of view onto an image sensor area of the image sensor unit associated with the optical channel;
- wherein the partial field of view of an optical channel corresponds to an object area captured with the optics of the optical channel along a single optical path of the optical channel defined by the optics;
- wherein the plurality of optical channels is configured to image the total field of view completely;
- and
- wherein a first partial field of view of the total field of view and a second partial field of view of the total field of view are captured by a different number of optical channels.
