Abstract
A control unit recognizes a direction accepted by an operation unit in a case in which an image acquisition mode is set in an image acquisition device. An image acquisition condition in the image acquisition mode is defined by first information and second information. The first information represents a speed or a distance at which the imaging visual field is changed. The second information represents a timing at which images used for restoration of the three-dimensional shape are acquired. The control unit causes a visual field changing unit to change the imaging visual field at the speed in the recognized direction or change the imaging visual field by the distance in the recognized direction. The control unit acquires at least two images at the timings from an imaging unit.
