Abstract
A camera device is provided that has an image sensor having a plurality of pixel elements for recording image data of an object stream of objects moving in a direction of movement relative to the camera device and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to read and further process the image data from the image sensor, wherein the image sensor is configured as a high frequency binary image sensor that generates individual images of low bit depth at a high frame rate, In this respect, the control and evaluation unit is configured to trigger a plurality of repeated shots of individual images of the image sensor and to combine the individual images while compensating the movement of the object stream between the shots to form a common image.
