Abstract

A multi-aperture imaging device includes an image sensor, a single-line array of juxtaposed optical channels, wherein each optical channel includes optics for projecting a partial area of an object area on an image sensor area of the image sensor and beam deflector for deflecting an optical path of the optical channels. The multi-aperture imaging device includes an actuator unit for generating a relative movement between the image sensor, the single-line array and the beam deflector, wherein the actuator unit is arranged such that the same is arranged at least partly between two planes that are spanned by sides of a cuboid, wherein the sides of the cuboid are oriented parallel to one another as well to a line extension direction of the single-line array and part of the optical path of the optical channels between the image sensor and the beam deflector.
