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.

Image capture apparatus

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 print control method in a network environment is provided in which a computer of a LAN transmits print data to a printer of another LAN via the Internet. On the Internet, a terminal device transmits print data to a print server managing a printer so as to use the printer for printing. As a communication protocol between the terminal device and the print server, HTTP is used. In the terminal device, a header including information about the printer to be used is added to the print data, which are transmitted. In the print server, the print data are received, and the print data are transmitted to the printer in accordance with the header of the print data. In the printer, the print data are printed.

Print control method, a print server, a client and a recording medium in a network environment

Printing equipment for processing relevant print requests from a plurality of host devices in parallel and its printing control method. A plurality of logical printers are provided in one unit of physically existing printing apparatus and one logical printer is allotted to each one of host devices so that processing of the print data from a plurality of host devices can be carried out in parallel. One virtual host interface exists for each logical printer and this host interface establishes session with the corresponding host device to transfer data. Each logical printer independently takes charge of emulation, respectively. Operating a plurality of logical printers in one unit of printing apparatus realizes multi-session and multi-emulation.
