Abstract

An image acquisition system includes a source of a radiation, an image sensor including an array of photodetectors capable of detecting the radiation and including a surface, and an angular filter, covering the sensor, and capable of blocking the rays of the radiation having an incidence relative to a direction orthogonal to the surface greater than a threshold and of giving way to at least certain rays of the radiation having an incidence relative to a direction orthogonal to the surface smaller than the threshold.
