An optoelectronic sensor for detecting three-dimensional image data from a monitored zone is provided that has an illumination unit for illuminating the monitored zone with modulated transmitted light, a light receiver for a simultaneous light reception of the transmitted light remitted by objects in the monitored zone at at least two locations at a mutual distance corresponding to a first resolution pattern, and a control and illumination unit that is configured to determine times of flight from properties of the modulated and remitted transmitted light and to detect three-dimensional data in a second resolution pattern finer than the first resolution pattern by at least one measurement repetition with a light reception from at least two other locations shifted with respect to the first resolution pattern.
