Abstract

An apparatus (10) and method for adjusting and/or calibrating a multi-camera module (2) having a plurality of cameras (4a, 4b). The apparatus (10) includes an optical arrangement for creating first virtual test structures (22) at an infinite distance and second test structures (26, 32) at a finite distance. Individual images (20a, 20b) captured with the cameras (4a, 4b) of the multi-camera module (2) include respectively the first and the second test structure (22, 26, 32). Based on the deviation of the position of the test structures (22, 26, 32) in the two individual images (20a, 20b), the cameras (4a, 4b) of the multi-camera module (2) are aligned relative to each other.
