Patent ID: 7935928

Claim:
A device for generating an image in a motor vehicle, comprising: at least one infrared-sensitive camera for generating at least one image of surroundings of the motor vehicle; at least one emission source radiating at least in a near infrared spectral region for a pulsed illumination of sub-ranges of image recording regions of the at least one infrared-sensitive camera; and an arrangement for recording the at least one image in partial image regions and for carrying out a synchronization in time of a recording of a partial image region with the pulsed illumination of the sub-range that at least includes the partial image region; wherein the at least one emission source includes at least one of a laser array and a laser diode array; and wherein rows of the at least one emission source are activated one after the other so that the sub-ranges of the image recording regions are illuminated in a sequentially pulsed manner.
