Abstract

An optoelectronic apparatus (10) for the detection of object information from a monitored zone (12), comprising a light receiver (18), a receiving optics (16) associated with the light receiver (18), the receiving optics having an adaptive lens (26) with variable tilt, and an evaluation unit (20) for the generation of object information from a received signal of the light receiver (18) is provided. In this respect the evaluation unit (20) is configured to bring the adaptive lens (26) into a plurality of different tilt positions and to thereby obtain additional object information from an enlarged monitored zone (12).
