Abstract

A device for relative positioning of multi-aperture optics having several optical channels in relation to an image sensor includes a reference object, a positioning device, and a calculating device. The reference object is arranged such that the reference object is imaged onto one image region per channel in the optical channels by the multi-aperture optics. The positioning device is controllable to change a relative location between the multi-aperture optics and the image sensor. The calculating device is configured to determine actual positions of the reference object in at least three image regions in images of the reference object and to control the positioning device on the basis of a comparison of the actual positions with positions.
