Abstract
An image of a target object may be captured by a method in which the target object is illuminated by a pulsed laser beam emitted by an illumination laser, which beam is aimed at the target object in the form of an illumination beam by an illumination optics unit. The illumination beam laser light reflected from the target object may be received by a receiving optics unit and directed to an image capturing device to generate an image of the target object on the image capturing device. The method may also include detecting the angular offset of the image of the target object with respect to a reference axis of the receiving optics unit, and stabilizing the visual axis of the image capturing device detected by imaging of the target object device by a first optical correcting element of the receiving optics unit that compensates for the angular offset.
