Abstract
An image sensor has an optical configuration for imaging an image to be recorded onto sensor elements. The sensor elements have dimensions below a resolution of the optical configuration. Neighboring sensor elements are in each case combined into pixel sensor regions. During the recording of the image, the measured values X of the sensor elements of each sensor region are averaged. In this case, each average value corresponds to a pixel of the recorded image. In this manner, production-dictated tolerances of the sensor elements are compensated for by the averaging.
