Abstract

A multi-aperture imaging device includes at least one image sensor and an array of juxtaposed optical channels. Each optical channel includes optics for imaging of projecting at least one partial area of an object area on an image sensor area of the image sensor. A first optics of a first optical channel is configured to project a first partial area of the object area on a first image sensor area and to project a second partial area of the object area on a second image sensor area. A second optics of a second optical channel is configured to project at least a third partial area of the object area on a third image sensor area. The first partial area and the second partial area are disjoint in the object area. The third partial area overlaps incompletely with the first partial area.
