[Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the automobile industry, there is an increasing demand for driver identification, fatigued driving detection and dangerous behavior detection systems. Driver monitoring systems are mainly realized by on-board imaging optical lenses.

[0003] In order to obtain excellent imaging quality, with the development of technology and the increasing diversification needs of users, the pixel area of the photosensitive element is shrinking and the system requirements for imaging quality are increasing.

[0017] In order to make the object, solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following describes each embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that many technical details are described in each embodiment of the present invention to better understand the present invention. However, although many technical details are given in each embodiment of the present invention to make the present invention well understood, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be realized without the existence of those technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
[0018] (First embodiment) As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, a first embodiment of the present invention provides an imaging optical lens 10. The imaging optical lens 10 includes a total of three lenses. Specifically, the imaging optical lens 10 includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens L1, a second lens L2, and a third lens L3. An optical element such as an optical filter GF may be provided between the third lens L3 and the image plane Si. In this embodiment, two optical filters, a first optical filter GF1 and a second optical filter GF2, may be provided between the third lens L3 and the image plane Si.
