Abstract
An optical assembly is used to generate a real-time image and a real-time assignment of environmental objects. The optical assembly has a plurality of camera groups which each have cameras interconnected via a camera signal connection, the entrance pupil centers of which cameras define a camera arrangement plane in which the cameras are arranged. The camera groups are in turn interconnected via a group signal connection. Adjacent image capture directions of the cameras of one of the camera groups assume an individual camera angle with respect to one another which is in the range between 5° and 25°. A direction mean value of the image capture directions of the cameras of one of the camera groups assumes a group-camera angle with respect to a direction angle value of the image capture directions of the cameras of an adjacent camera group, which is in the range between 30° and 100°. This results in an optical assembly with improved reliability of a real-time detection of environmental objects and improved real-time assignment, and which is well adapted to the practice, in particular of image capture to allow autonomous driving.
