Abstract

A camera captures an image of a subject, and a light source illuminates with light a plane intersecting an optical axis of the camera at a prescribed angle. The processor generates guidance information related to a distance between the subject and the light source on the basis of a pixel value distribution of the image of the subject which is illuminated with the light, and outputs the generated guidance information.
