  • a device for rotatable mounting a device is usually used, which is referred to as Kardanik.
  • a hinge point of the gimbal-mounted in the housing reversing system is arranged centrally between an image-side main plane of the lens and an object-side main plane of the eyepiece.

  • the Porro prisms are formed pivotable about their respective tilt axis.
  • Engines are provided for pivoting the Porro prisms.
  • the panning is dependent on a dithering motion that causes a wobble of an observed image.
  • Pivoting movements of an optical system performed in particular to save energy in the operation of the Schmstabili- s mecanicssaku (or the image stabilization units).
  • Shivering movements are usually characterized by high frequencies (for example, in the Range from 4 Hz to 15 Hz).
  • intentional movements are characterized by low frequencies (for example in the range from 0 Hz to 4 Hz). Therefore, it is desirable to distinguish between intentional movements (in which the image is to be stabilized) and unwanted movements (where the image is not to be stabilized). In other words, high frequencies (ie, dithering) and thus image degradation should be compensated for in a desired movement.
  • US Pat. No. 7,460,154 B2 proposes a device and a method for distinguishing a desired movement from an unwanted movement (in particular a dithering movement).
  • the known device has a sensor for detecting a rotational movement of an optical system, a high-pass filter and an integration unit. By means of the sensor, a detection signal is generated, which is filtered with the high-pass filter. The filtered signal is then integrated with the integration unit for a predetermined time.
  • a limiting frequency is predetermined in the known method for the high-pass filter and a limit output signal is specified for the integration unit. If the cut-off frequency and the limit output signal are exceeded, there is an unwanted movement. In this case, the image is stabilized.
  • the integration time is changed gradually (ie slowly). Accordingly, in the known method, the transition takes place from the first operating mode to the second operating mode (or vice versa) just as slowly. This can lead to problems with very short and sudden unwanted or intentional movements of the optical system, since a fast switching between the two operating modes is not possible quickly.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device and a method that can detect both slow and fast intentional and unwanted movements of an optical system and with which optionally an image stabilization can be performed.
  • the optical system according to the invention is designed to image an object.
  • the optical system is designed, for example, as a binocular binocular or a binocular telescope. However, it is explicitly pointed out that the invention is not limited to such an optical system.
  • the optical system according to the invention has at least one first objective, at least one first image stabilization unit and at least one first image plane, wherein, viewed from the first objective in the direction of the first image plane, first the first objective, then the first image stabilization unit and then the first image plane along a first optical Axis are arranged. Accordingly, the aforementioned units are arranged in the following order along the first optical axis: first objective - first image stabilization unit - first image plane.
  • the optical system according to the invention has at least one first detection unit for detecting a desired or unwanted Verschwen- kung of the optical system about a first axis of rotation.
  • the first axis of rotation is arranged, for example, perpendicular to the first optical axis.
  • the first detection unit has at least one first low-pass filter.
  • Image stabilization is therefore carried out in particular when the optical system moves inadvertently. Additionally or alternatively, it is provided that an image stabilization is performed depending on the type of pivoting. Thus, it is provided that an image stabilization over a wide frequency bandwidth only takes place when there is only an unwanted movement. For example, in the case of an unwanted movement, the image stabilization takes place in the frequency bandwidth of 0 Hz to 20 Hz. In the case of intentional slight pivoting, image stabilization in the frequency bandwidth of 5 Hz to 20 Hz can take place in one exemplary embodiment. In the case of an intended stronger pivoting, in one exemplary embodiment additionally or alternatively image stabilization in the frequency bandwidth of 8 Hz to 20 Hz can take place.
  • an image stabilization in the frequency bandwidth of 12 Hz to 20 Hz can take place.
  • the aforementioned frequency ranges are to be understood as examples.
  • the stated range limits can take any suitable value.
  • the properties of the desired motion should be evaluated and the evaluated signals should then be used for image stabilization.
  • the recognition unit has the above-mentioned low-pass filter or several low-pass filters. This provides or ensure that low frequencies, which has a desired pivoting substantially pass through the low-pass filter unhindered and the further signal processing for image stabilization can be supplied. The high frequencies are filtered out by the low-pass filter.
  • Perceptual limit (usually at about 20 Hz), the human eye takes Although no trembling or a flicker more true, but a picture blur due to a movement, which is given by a smearing. However, it is not absolutely necessary to correct this image blur. Therefore, these frequencies are filtered out. They therefore do not contribute to the image stabilization. Thus, basically, only the low frequencies of intentional pivoting provide the basis for image stabilization and serve to control movement of the image stabilization unit.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is based on the consideration that a deliberate pivoting of the optical system is characterized in particular by two properties. This is the one already mentioned above low frequency of the desired pivoting, but on the other hand, a large amplitude of the desired pivoting. Unwanted pivoting, in particular dithering movements, as a rule, have a much smaller amplitude than desired pivoting of the optical system. It has been recognized that one may additionally or alternatively use the amplitude of the intentional pivoting to determine (detect) the type of movement of the optical system.

  • the function ⁇ is given, for example, as follows:
  • ⁇ is an arbitrary parameter that determines how fast the output of the first small amplitude integration unit 82A of the swivels drops back to zero. If a small parameter ⁇ is selected (for example in the range of 0.1), only higher frequencies remaining in the signal are used for the image stabilization. If the parameter ⁇ is close to 1 (for example, 0.9), then basically all the remaining frequencies in the signal are used for the image stabilization.
  • y 2 is also a freely selectable parameter that determines how strong the influence of the amplitude of the pivoting of the binoculars 1 is on the frequency response. At small values of y 2 (for example, 0.1), high magnitudes still cause higher frequencies remaining in the signal to be used for image stabilization. If the parameter ⁇ 2 is large, then this already happens at small Amplitudes (for example, when ⁇ 2 is in the range of 1, in particular at about 0.9).

  • Equation 3 With regard to the meaning of the variables, reference is made to above. Furthermore, what has already been said about Equation 3 also applies to Equation 4.
  • the function F can be, for example, a polynomial, in particular in the form
  • the output signal of the first integration unit 82A is then directed to the first drive unit 24A and the second drive unit 24B, so that the first gimbal 60A for image stabilization is driven.

  • the determined angles of rotation are then converted into first correction angles by which the first image stabilization unit 16A has to be rotated in order to be positioned in space.
