Abstract
A camera unit that captures and generates a plurality of images of a subject and a setting unit that sets different image capturing positions of the camera unit are provided. The setting unit sets the different image capturing positions so that the distance between an n-th image capturing position and an n+1th image capturing position and the distance between an m-th image capturing position and an m+1th image capturing position among the different image capturing positions differ from each other, where n and m are different natural numbers.
