Abstract
An imaging system (1) is provided, comprising: an optical channel (2) configured to transfer light, a first sensor (10) configured to generate first image data by imaging an object (3) along a first optical path (11), and a second sensor (20) configured to generate second image data by imaging the object (3) along a second optical path (21). The first sensor (10) and the second sensor (20) are focus shifted. Further, the first optical path (11) and the second optical path (21) are guided at least partly through the optical channel (3).

An imaging system, comprising:
- an optical channel configured to transfer light,
- a first sensor configured to generate first image data by imaging an object along a first optical path, and
- a second sensor configured to generate second image data by imaging the object along a second optical path,
- wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are focus shifted, wherein the first optical path and the second optical path are guided at least partly through the optical channel,
- wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are arranged such that they are inclined in relation to each other, and
- wherein the imaging system further includes a control unit configured to generate depth information of the object based on the first image data and the second image data.
A method for imaging an object, the method comprising:
- generating first image data of an object by imaging the object along a first optical path using a first sensor, and
- generating second image data of the object by imaging the object along a second optical path using a second sensor,
- wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are focus shifted,
- wherein the first optical path and the second optical path are guided at least partly through the same optical channel,
- wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are arranged such that they are inclined in relation to each other, and
- wherein the first image data and the second image data are compared with each other to generate depth information.
