Abstract
An image capturing arrangement is provided which comprises a depth (3D) sensor, a processor, an illuminating device and one or more image capturing devices. The depth sensor is configured to acquire at least a partial representation of the scene whose image is about to be taken, the processor retrieves required information from the acquired representation about distances of objects included in that scene from the sensor, and the illuminating device is configured to provide a non-uniform illumination of the scene whose image is to be captured, based on the retrieved information.
