Abstract
A method for operating a spatial-resolution opto-electronic sensor device is provided. In order to produce a computed image of the surroundings, the sensor surface is activated as a sequence of n-tuples of pairs from activation intervals and assigned subsets of sensor elements in such a way that, within an n-tuple, n subsets of sensor elements are activated during n activation intervals under different lighting conditions for the surroundings caused by appropriate control of the lighting source, and fields recorded within an n-tuple are processed with one another in a data-processing device.
