Sensor system and method for image capture of an object

An endoscopic system comprising:

• a stem comprising a first end which faces away from an object to be captured and a second end which faces the object;
• and
• a sensor system for image capture of the object, said sensor system comprising:
• an imaging sensor for recording imaging data of an object to be captured;
• an optical sensor for recording image data of the imaging sensor and of the object, said imaging sensor being arranged in a recording area of the optical sensor, said recording area being defined for the object, said imaging sensor being arranged relative to the optical sensor in such a way as to be essentially stationary;
• and
• an evaluation unit for evaluating the imaging data and the image data, said evaluation unit determining a relative movement between the imaging sensor and the object from the image data and a three-dimensional object image is reconstructed from the imaging data as a function of the determined relative movement, said evaluation unit determining a deformation of the object due to said imaging sensor based on said image data, said imaging sensor and the image sensor being arranged at the second end, wherein said deformation is recognizable by means of several displacement vectors which point toward the imaging sensor, said displacement vectors characterizing the relative movement between the imaging sensor and the object, at least one of no imaging data being recorded and recorded imaging data being discarded in case said deformation is recognized.

A method for image capture of an object, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing a sensor system comprising an imaging sensor for recording imaging data of an object to be captured, and an optical sensor for recording image data of the imaging sensor and of the object, said imaging sensor being arranged in a recording area of the optical sensor which said recording area has been defined for the object, said imaging sensor being arranged relative to the optical sensor in such a way as to be essentially stationary;
• recording imaging data of the object by means of the imaging sensor and recording image data of the imaging sensor and of the object by means of the optical sensor at identical points in time;
• and
• evaluating the imaging data and the image data in such a way that a relative movement between the imaging sensor and the object is determined from the image data and a three-dimensional object image is reconstructed from the imaging data as a function of the determined relative movement and a deformation of the object due to an influence of said imaging sensor is determined via said image data, wherein said deformation is recognized by means of several displacement vectors, which point toward the imaging sensor, said displacement vectors characterizing the relative movement between the imaging sensor and the object, at least one of no imaging data being recorded and recorded imaging data being discarded in case said deformation is recognized.
