The illumination unit is designed such that at least two light pulses are periodically emitted, luminous areas of the light pulses having light patterns designed to be complementary to each other. The optical capture unit being controlled such that it captures an illumination area illuminated by the light pulses as a detection image synchronously with the emission of the light pulses.
