Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide a photographing device, iris image input device and iris image input method capable of rapidly and accurately acquiring an iris pattern code of a person to be identified regardless of the height of the person to be identified. In order to achieve this object, with an iris image input device of the present invention, a portable photographing device is connected to a recognition unit and a monitor. The person to be identified that is to photograph their iris uses this iris input device in the following manner. The person to be identified takes the photographing device in one hand, lines up the photographing device with the eye with the iris to be photographed and photographs the iris. While doing this, because the iris image of the eye of the person to be identified photographed by the photographing device is displayed at a monitor of the iris image input device, the person to be identified can adjust the position of the photographing device while looking at the image with their other eye in such a manner that the focal point of the photographing device lines up with the eye being photographed. The iris image input device can therefore acquire iris pattern code for the person to be identified rapidly and accurately.
