Abstract
An imaging system for a vehicle includes an image sensor for detecting electromagnetic radiation, a first lens unit and a second lens unit for focusing electromagnetic radiation, and at least one transflective or switchable mirror unit, with the at least one transflective or switchable mirror unit being configured to project electromagnetic radiation from at least one of the first lens unit and the second lens unit essentially perpendicularly on the image sensor, where the first lens unit has a first optical axis and the second lens unit has a second optical axis crossing the first optical axis at a crossing point, and the at least one transflective or switchable mirror unit is arranged between the image sensor, the first lens unit, and the second lens unit at the crossing point.
