Abstract
An image free from interfering structures may be generated by means of a fiber bundle of several optical fibers, when for the system of fiber bundle and sensor imaging parameters are provided, which describe the geometrical characteristics of the intensity course generated by each individual optical fiber on the sensor. In image reconstruction, for each individual optical fiber an amplitude value and/or luminosity information may be generated by fitting a function of the amplitude value and the imaging parameters of the respective optical fiber to an intensity picture of the sensor, so that an optimum amplitude and/or luminosity value may be generated considering the geometrical imaging characteristics for each individual optical fiber.
