Image capture apparatus

An image capture apparatus is provided. The image capture apparatus includes a transparent cover, an image capture device, and a luminous flux limiting device. The transparent cover has a surface in contact with an environmental medium, and the image capture device includes a plurality of sensor regions, each of which has a maximum length in a first direction and a maximum width in a second direction. The luminous flux limiting device is disposed between the transparent cover and image capture device and includes at least one shielding element having a transparent pattern. The transparent pattern includes a plurality of basic patterns which are repeatedly arranged. Each of the basic patterns includes a plurality of transparent regions which are arranged according to a geometric shape. The geometric shape has a side parallel to the first direction, and the length of the side is smaller than or equal to the maximum length. The geometric shape has a height in the second direction smaller than or equal to the max
