Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022128337A1] The present disclosure relates to an angular filter (23) for an image acquisition device (19), comprising a stack including: a layer (41) comprising media with different refractive indices and transparent to said radiation, the layer (41) allowing only those rays of said radiation having angles of incidence lower than a first maximum angle of incidence to pass; and an matrix (31) of apertures (33) bounded by walls (35) opaque to visible and/or infrared radiation and an array (27) of microlenses (29), the assembly formed by the matrix of apertures and the array of microlenses allowing only those rays of said radiation having angles of incidence lower than a second maximum angle of incidence, lower than the first maximum angle of incidence, to pass.
