  • Patent number: 10509207
    Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle comprising a capturing unit which comprises an optical element and image sensor with surface, to capture a section of a vehicle environment. The optical element has a distortion curve r=f(?), wherein r is the distance between an object point displayed on the image sensor surface and the intersection point of the optical axis with the image sensor surface, and ? is the angle between the optical axis of the optical element and the beam incident on the optical element from the object point. The distortion curve r=f(?) has, for rw=f (?w) within 0<r<rmax, a turning point ?w; rw, for which r?=f?(?w)=d2r/d?2 (?w)=0 applies, wherein rmax is the distance r=f(?max) on the image sensor surface from the optical axis to the most distant edge of the image sensor.
