The present invention refers to a surround-view imaging system for time-of-flight (TOF) depth sensing applications and a time-of-flight sensing based collision avoidance system comprising such an imaging system. The imaging system for time-of-flight depth sensing applications comprises a lens system, adapted for imaging angles of view (AOV) larger than 120&#xb0; in an image on an image plane; a sensor system, adapted to convert at least a part the image in the image plane into an electronic image signal; and an evaluation electronics, adapted to analyze the electronic image signal and to output resulting environmental information; wherein the lens system and/or the sensor system are designed for specifically imaging fields of view (FOV) starting at zenithal angles larger than 60&#xb0;.

Surround-view imaging system

Camera lens system for an endoscope, method for producing same and endoscope. The system includes at least three lenses. Starting from object side, first lens is a negative lens, and lenses moving toward an image side are positive lenses, with features: 45&#x3c;V1d&#x3c;75; |V1d&#x2212;V2d|&#x3c;10; |V1d&#x2212;V3d|&#x3c;10; |V2d&#x2212;V3d|&#x3c;10; 1.45&#x3c;n1d&#x3c;1.75; |n1d&#x2212;n2d|&#x3c;0.1; |n1d&#x2212;n3d|&#x3c;0.1; |n2d&#x2212;n3d|&#x3c;0.1; diagonal field of view from 80&#xb0;-100&#xb0;; 0.4&#x3c;f&#x3c;0.7; &#x2212;3&#x3c;f1/f&#x3c;&#x2212;2; 1.1&#x3c;f2/f&#x3c;1.3; 2.5&#x3c;f3/f&#x3c;3.5, the three lenses having V1d, V2d, and V3d Abbe numbers, n1d, n2d, and n3d refractive indices, f1, f2, and f3 focal lengths, respectively, and f is focal length of the objective of the system.
