Abstract:
An optoelectronic imaging system, comprising:a housing;first and second flexible optical lenses having adjustable surface curvatures spaced apart from one another in said housing and fixed against displacement relative to one another along an optical axis;an actuating device operatively connected to said first and second lenses for mechanically adjusting said surface curvatures of said first and second lenses;a data processing device mounted in said housing for receiving and recording and image transmittal via a beam path through said first and second lenses and signally connected to said actuating device for controlling an image sharpness and an imaging scale;said data processing device comprising a storage device having stored values for the adjustment of the focal lengths of said first and second lenses for controlling said imaging scale of said optoelectronic imaging system;an electronic image sensor operatively mounted on said housing for receiving and recording an image transmitted via a beam path through said first and second lenses and signally connected to said data processing device for transmitting an image signal to said data processing unit for controlling said imaging sharpness of said optoelectronic imaging system by adjusting said actuating device in response to said image signal; andwherein said data processing device and said image sensor are arrangeable together on an electronic chip.
