Multi-aperture imaging device, imaging system and method for capturing an object area

Imaging system exhibiting a multi-aperture imaging device comprising:

• at least one image sensor;
• and
• an array of juxtaposed optical channels, wherein each optical channel comprises optics for projecting at least one partial area of an object area on an image sensor area of the image sensor;
• wherein a first optics of a first optical channel is configured to project a first partial area of the object area on a first image sensor area and a second partial area of the object area on a second image sensor area;
• wherein a second optics of a second optical channel is configured to project at least a third partial area of the object area on a third image sensor area;
• and
• wherein the first partial area and the second partial area are disjoint in the object area, and wherein the third partial area overlaps incompletely with the first partial area.

Method for capturing an object area with an image sensor, comprising:

• projecting an object area with an array of juxtaposed optical channels, wherein each optical channel comprises optics for projecting at least one partial area of an object area on an image sensor area of the image sensor;
• projecting a first partial area of the object area on a first image sensor area and projecting a second partial area of the object area on a second image sensor area by a first optics of a first optical channel;
• and
• projecting a third partial area of the object area by a second optics of a second optical channel;
• such that the first partial area and the second partial area are disjoint in the object area and such that the third partial area incompletely overlaps with the first partial area.
