Abstract
An image recording system having a CCD camera or CMOS camera for picking up the surroundings of a vehicle. The image recording system additionally includes a radiation sensor for sensing a pulsed light source, as well as a control device, controlled by the radiation sensor, which determines the discrepancy between the exposure phase of the camera and the ON phase of the pulsed light source and minimizes it by synchronizing the exposure phase with the ON duration

11. An image recording system, comprising:
-
a camera adapted to pick up surroundings of a vehicle; a radiation sensor adapted to sense a pulsed light source; and a control device, controllable by the radiation sensor, adapted to determine a discrepancy between an exposure phase of the camera and an ON phase of the pulsed light source. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of operating an image recording system, the image recording system including a CCD camera or CMOS camera adapted to pick up surroundings of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
operating the image recording system in a normal, non-linear mode, and acquiring at least one image from a coverage range of the image recording system in the normal, non-linear mode; operating the image recording system in a linear mode, and acquiring at least one image from the coverage range of the image recording system in the linear mode; comparing the image acquired in the non-linear mode and the image acquired in the linear mode; and in response to an appearance of pulsed light sources in the images, at least partial areas of the image acquired in the non-linear mode are replaced by corresponding areas of the image acquired in the linear mode.
