Abstract
The invention describes a multi-aperture device for detecting an object region having at least two optical channels for detecting a first sub-region of the object region and at least two optical channels for detecting a second sub-region of the object region. The optical channels for detecting the first and second sub-regions are arranged in an interlaced manner in a one-row structure, wherein the first and second sub-regions overlap at least partly.
Claims17
A multi-aperture device for detecting an object region, comprising:
- at least two optical channels for detecting a first sub-region of the object region;
- and
- at least two optical channels for detecting a second sub-region of the object region;
- wherein
- the optical channels for detecting the first sub-region and the second sub-region are arranged in an interlaced manner in a one-row structure;
- and wherein
- the first sub-region and the second sub-region overlap partly and are mutually different in the object region;
- wherein each optical channel comprises an image sensor region the position of which on an image converter depends on a position of the sub-region to be detected within the object region, and wherein optical centers of optics of the optical channels are located on a line along individual optical channels and centers of the image sensor regions of the optical channels vary compared to an equidistant and collinear distribution relative to the line;
- or
- wherein each optical channel comprises an image sensor region the position of which on an image converter depends on a position of the sub-region to be detected within the object region, and wherein centers of the image sensor regions of the optical channels are located on a line along individual optical channels and optical centers of optics of the optical channels vary compared to an equidistant and collinear distribution relative to the line.
A method for detecting an object region, comprising:
- arranging at least two optical channels for detecting a first sub-region of the object region on an image converter;
- and
- arranging at least two optical channels for detecting a second sub-region of the object region on the image converter;
- wherein
- the optical channels for detecting the first and second sub-regions are arranged in an interlaced manner in a one-row structure;
- and wherein
- the first and second sub-regions overlap partly and are mutually different in the object region;
- wherein arranging the optical channels takes place such that each optical channel comprises an image sensor region the position of which on an image converter depends on a position of the sub-region to be detected within the object region, and such that optical centers of optics of the optical channels are located on a line along individual optical channels and centers of the image sensor regions of the optical channels vary compared to an equidistant and collinear distribution relative to the line;
- or
- wherein arranging the optical channels takes place such that each optical channel comprises an image sensor region the position of which on an image converter depends on a position of the sub-region to be detected within the object region, and such that centers of the image sensor regions of the optical channels are located on a line along individual optical channels and optical centers of optics of the optical channels vary compared to an equidistant and collinear distribution relative to the line.
