Abstract
The invention relates to a camera system for inspecting and/or measuring objects in an environment, comprising a color image sensor, an objective arrangement in front of the color image sensor for imaging an object from the environment on the color image sensor and at least one taking illumination light source with which the environment can be illuminated by non-monochromatic light, in particular without passing through the objective arrangement. In accordance with the invention, an internal reference illumination light source is provided which is arranged such that the color image sensor can be illuminated by it without the light irradiated by it for this purpose passing through the objective arrangement. The invention furthermore relates to a method for inspecting and/or measuring objects using such a camera system.
