Catadioptric camera for performing distance surveillance/monitoring of motor vehicles in front has lenses and curved mirror surfaces to act as image-transmitting elements

摘要

A catadioptric camera has a focal plane, an optical axis (1), an optical main system and an optical auxiliary system (13,14). A first mirror (7) is set onto the optical axis and belongs to the optical main system. The mirror obstructs the vision from the focal plane onto a dead area behind the mirror.
