A detecting means is responsive to a passing car to produce an indicating signal. A camera and a flash lighting unit positioned down the road from the detecting means are activated simultaneously to illuminate and photograph the oncoming car. The illumination lies primarily in a spectrum including the visible deep red, the near infra-red and the intermediate infra-red. Only the visible deep red and the near infra-red radiations are able to penetrate the infra-red filtering windshield and then reflect back to the camera through an optical filter which passes only said visible deep red, near the infra-red and the small amount of intermediate infra-red radiations that pass back through the windshield. Thus the glare from ambient light is eliminated. A film sensitized to the visible deep red and to the near infra-red radiations is employed in the camera. The aforementioned system provides an identifiable photograph of the driver's facial features either during the day or at night and without causing impairment of his vision. |
