Abstract
A dust removing device includes: a dust position estimating unit which estimates a position of a dust area which is an area in which there is dust; an air blow determining unit which determines, based on the estimated position, an air blow mode which causes a predetermined airflow in the dust area; an air blower which performs an air blow in the determined air blow mode; and an air intake unit which takes in air from a space in which the air blow is performed. Note that the dust removing device may include an information storage which stores a control table in which air blow control information defining the air blow mode is written for a position of each dust area, and the air blow determining unit may determine, based on the control table, the air blow mode in accordance with the air blow control information corresponding to the estimated position of the dust area.
