The invention relates to a system (100) for capturing images of the face of an individual comprising: an image capture device (110) having a line of sight (112) directed towards the place from where the individual arrives, and two illumination devices (102, 104) disposed symmetrically with respect to the line of sight (112) and at a distance therefrom, each comprising means of generating a light flux intended to illuminate the face of the individual as he moves and whereof the illumination lobe (106, 108), representative of the luminance in a horizontal plane, has a maximum, the two lobes (106, 108) being symmetrical with each other with respect to the line of sight (112), the capture system (100) being characterised in that the generation means are such that each lobe (106, 108) is asymmetric with respect to the straight line bearing said maximum and has, from this maximum, a first front (122) curved towards the image capture device (110) and a second front (120) that is substantially plane and extending on the side from where the individual comes.
A system (100) for capturing images of a face of an individual comprising:
An illumination device (102, 104) comprising means of generating a light flux, whereof the illumination lobe (106, 108), representative of its luminance in a horizontal plane, has a maximum, and wherein each generation mean is adapted to form a lobe (106, 108) that is asymmetric with respect to the straight line bearing the corresponding maximum and having, from this maximum, a first curved front (122) and a second front (120) that is substantially plane.
