Multi-focal imaging system i.e. camera, for use in motor car for imaging electromagnetic radiation on charge coupled device imaging chip, has image pickup element whose sensitive surface is divided into two functional areas with same filter

摘要

The system (1) has an optical element (3) arranged in an optical path. Electromagnetic radiations (4, 5) of two different removal regions focused on a sensitive surface of an image pickup element (2) are projected. The optical element includes two passage regions (3.1, 3.2) through which the electromagnetic radiations from the two different removal regions come out, and includes a filter with different optical filter properties. The sensitive surface of the image pickup element is divided into two separated functional areas (2.1, 2.2) with same filter and with different filter properties. The optical element is designed as a circular lens.
