Abstract

Providing a multi-aperture imaging device having a single-line array of optical channels arranged next to one another with and adjuster for channel-specifically changing a relative position between an image sensor region of a respective optical channel, the optics of the respective optical channel and a beam-deflecting device of the respective channel or for channel-specifically changing an optical characteristic of the optics of the respective optical channel or an optical characteristic of the beam-deflecting device relating to deflecting the optical path of the respective optical channel, and a storage having default values stored therein and/or a controller for converting sensor data to default values for channel-specifically controlling the adjusting device is used to reduce requirements to, for example, manufacturing tolerances of the multi-aperture imaging device and/or requirements to the multi-aperture imaging device as regards position and shape invariance relative to temperature variations such that the additional complexity entailed by this procedure is compensated again.
