An image shot by a shooting unit is stored in a shot image storing unit. An expected shooting state storing unit stores expected shooting state information which represents an expected shooting state of an object to be shot. A guide direction determining unit references the image stored in the shot image storing unit and the expected shooting state information, and determines in which direction the object to be shot, which is shot by the shooting unit, is to be guided. A guide direction instruction outputting unit notifies a user of a result of the determination made by the guide direction determining unit.

Shooting device and method with function for guiding an object to be shot

An image taking device (), which takes an image of an object by focusing reflected light from the object on an image sensor (), is provided with a distance measuring sensor () for measuring a distance between the object and the image taking device (), and means for controlling exposure time of the image sensor () upon taking an image in accordance with a measurement result.

Photographing apparatus photographing method and computer program

An image taking device with a lighting device includes a light irradiating portion for irradiating light to a subject and a light receiving portion for receiving reflected light from the subject that is irradiated by the light. The light irradiating portion is structured to have a plurality of light sources that are arranged so as to surround the light receiving portion. Each of the light sources is adjusted to emit light of an intensity corresponding to an arrangement position.

Image taking device, method for controlling light sources and computer program

An image capture apparatus is placed on a desk and an object to be captured is presented above the apparatus. An illumination device can emit light of a plurality of wavelengths, and a camera captures an image of an object to be captured using different wavelengths. By processing an image using different wavelengths, the material of the object to be captured can be obtained. The captured image is compared with a recorded image stored in the image capture apparatus and used in image determination.

In order to perform personal identification by matching a first body image that is obtained in advance by an image taking process with a second body image that is obtained when the identification is performed, an image taking device () for obtaining the second body image includes a shooting condition storage portion () for storing a shooting condition for each person in connection with an ID given to the person, the shooting condition being used when a body image of the person is taken for obtaining the first body image, an interface () for entering the ID of a person to be an object of the identification, and a shooting control portion () for controlling to take the body image under the shooting condition corresponding to the entered ID for obtaining the second body image of the person to be an object of the identification.

Image taking device and personal identification system

A developer includes a toner container divided by a partition into first and second chambers. The first and the second chambers communicate with each other via first and second openings. A third opening is also formed in the partition for passing excessive toner from the second to the first chamber. The first chamber is provided with a first screw for transferring the toner from the first to the second opening, while the second chamber with a second screw for transferring the toner in the opposite direction. A toner scraping blade is arranged above the second screw. The toner scraped in the second chamber is led into the first chamber through the third opening. Adjusting means is provided for controlling the passage of the toner through the third opening, thereby achieving uniform toner distribution in the second chamber.

Developing device using two-component developer

A flash lamp fixing with a simple structure, capable of obtaining an even distribution of high-level luminous energy over a large area on the surface of a paper sheet illuminated by a flash lamp. In the flash lamp fixing device, the half breadth L.sub.1 of the aperture of the reflector is set so as to satisfy the equation V/T.gtoreq.L.sub.1 .gtoreq.V/T-L.sub.2 /2, where V is the conveying speed of a paper sheet; T is the flash cycle of the flash lamp; L.sub.1 is the half breadth of the aperture of the reflector; and L.sub.2 is the length of an area in which fixing can be done by one flash of the flash lamp. Where .theta..sub.1 represents the included angle between a tangent which passes through one of aperture edges, being tangent to the flash lamp on the side of the aperture and the plane of the aperture; and .theta..sub.2 represents the included angle between a tangent which passes through the aperture edge, being tangent to a safety distance critical circle centered on the center of the flash lamp and a plane normal to the aperture plane, the tilt angles of the respective inclined face parts in relation to the plane normal to the aperture plane are set to be not less than .theta..sub.1 and not more than .theta..sub.2.
