DEVICE FOR MONITORING AN ENVIRONMENT OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A device for monitoring an environment of a vehicle, wherein the environment is captured by means of a plurality of image capturing units, the capture ranges (2) thereof at least partially overlapping each other and forming an overlap range (3), wherein an overall image is generated from the individual images captured by means of the image capturing units by means of an image processing unit, which overall image shows the vehicle and the environment thereof from a bird'"'"'s-eye view,wherein the image capturing units are wafer-level cameras (1),wherein several wafer-level cameras (1) are arranged parallel adjacent to each other in the form of a line,wherein the wafer-level cameras 1 of a line are equipped with optical lenses (4) having different focal widths, andwherein the image processing unit selects different wafer-level cameras 1 to obtain images with different focal widths.
