Abstract
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° 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°.
