    Abstract: The invention relates to an image capture device (1) comprising an image sensor (9) making it possible to obtain both an infrared image (31) and an image in the visible range (35) by means of an array of optical filters comprising first filtering elements, having a transmission spectral band in the infrared range, as well as second filtering elements, having a transmission spectral band in the visible range. The image capture device further comprises: —a lighting device (11) configured to emit infrared radiation, and—a computer (13), programmed to control the power of the infrared radiation emitted by the lighting device, as a function of said ambient luminosity in the infrared range. The invention also relates to a monitoring system (2) for monitoring a driver (3), comprising such an image capture device.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an image capturing device (1) comprising an image sensor (9) making it possible to obtain both an infrared image (31) and an image in the visible range (35) by means of an array of elementary optical filters comprising first optical filters, which are at least partially transmissive in the infrared range, and second optical filters which are at least partially transmissive in the visible range. The image capturing device comprises a calculator (12) which is programmed to control the image sensor to perform two shots, one being exposed according to an ambient brightness in the infrared range for obtaining the first image and the other being exposed as a function of an ambicin brightness in the visible range for obtaining the second image. The invention also relates to a system for monitoring a driver (3), comprising such an image capturing device.
