Abstract:
A method of acquiring images includes moving, into a plurality of acquisition locations, of an acquisition device including at least one camera, and acquisition at each acquisition location of at least one image of a scene by the camera. Each acquisition location being chosen in such a manner that scenes viewed by the camera at two consecutive acquisition locations and corresponding images overlap, at least partially, and areal density of pixels assigned to at least one element of the corresponding scene, which is represented in the corresponding image by a high-resolution portion, is greater than 50% or greater than 80% of a target areal density, the areal density of pixels being defined as a ratio of the area of the element projected in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the camera over a quantity of pixels of the high-resolution portion.
