Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical sensor for the detection of at least one height profile of an object surface in accordance with the principle of light sectioning method. The optical sensor comprises a light transmitter which is configured to project at least one light line onto the object surface, a receiving unit comprising a light receiver having an array of receiving elements and a receiving optics arranged upstream of the light receiver for generating an image of the at least one projected light onto the light receiver, and an evaluation unit connected to the light receiver and configured for determining the height profile from an image of the at least one projected light line recorded by the light receiver.

Abstract: A camera for recording 3D image data using a light sectioning process is provided that has an illumination unit to project a light pattern in a focal plane, an image sensor having a plurality of light reception elements in an image plane, a reception optics upstream of the image sensor and having an objective plane, and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to generate the 3D image data by evaluating the light pattern in a recording of the image sensor, wherein the image plane is tilted with respect to the focal plane. In this respect, the reception optics has at least one metaelement here that compensates an oblique light incidence on the light reception elements.

Abstract: An alignment target (16) for aligning a camera (10) is provided, said alignment target (16) having a plurality of triangular contrast marks (18, 20) that are arranged in a row. In this respect, a tip of a triangular shape of at least one contrast mark (18) faces upward and at least one contrast mark (20) faces downward.

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).

Abstract: An optoelectronic apparatus (10) having a light transmitter (22) and/or a light receiver (16) and an optics (24, 14) arranged in front of the light transmitter (22) and/or the light receiver (16) is provided that has an adaptive lens (26) with variable tilt. In this respect an alignment unit (18) is provided which is configured to tilt the adaptive lens (26) in such a way that manufacturing tolerances and/or assembly tolerances are compensated.

Abstract: An illumination apparatus (10) for the generation of an illumination field (102) for an optoelectronic sensor (100) is provided which has at least one light source and an illumination optics, in particular having a TIR lens, in order to guide the light of the light source in the illumination field (102) in a directed manner, wherein the illumination optics (10) has a light entrance region, a light guidance region having a jacket surface and a light exit region such that the light of the light source is guided in the illumination optics from the light entrance region to the light exit region by means of total reflection at the jacket surface. In this connection the light guidance region is at least partly formed from a deformable material such that the geometry of the jacket surface can be changed by means of exertion of a force at the light guidance region.
