Abstract
Embodiments pertain to an imaging system configured to reduce or prevent the effect of unwanted specular reflections reflected by specular surfaces located in a scene. The system comprises at least one image acquisition device for acquiring a scene image comprising a specular surface providing specular light reflections. The at least one image acquisition device comprises at least one first image sensor and imaging optics having an optical axis for guiding light received from the scene along the optical axis onto the at least one first image sensor. The system further comprises at least one polarization filter operably positioned between the at least one first image sensor and an object. The system is configured to determine a polarization filter orientation such that an amount of specular light reflections incident onto the at least one first image sensor is reduced or eliminated.
