Face imaging device comprising a casing defining an opening for a face of a person to be imaged, wherein in the interior of the casing light sources and reflectors are arranged

A face imaging device, comprising:

• a casing defining an interior and an opening for receiving a face of a person to be imaged;
• at least one light source disposed in the interior;
• at least one reflector disposed in the interior;
• at least one sensor disposed in the interior, the at least one sensor configured to determine a face orientation;
• and
• at least one display disposed in the interior, the at least one display configured to display a desired face orientation and an actual face orientation determined by the at least one sensor such that the face is positionable in the desired face orientation to capture at least one image of the face;
• wherein:
• a face orientation of a first image determined by the at least one sensor is stored in a memory of the face imaging device as the desired face orientation;
• the face imaging device comprises a processor configured to access the memory and to display the desired face orientation in the at least one display to obtain a second image of the face such that the first image and the second image have a corresponding face orientation;
• the processor is configured to display, by the at least one display, a plurality of symbols representing degrees of freedom of the desired face orientation and the actual face orientation, wherein the plurality of symbols comprise at least one fixed symbol representing at least one degree of freedom of the desired face orientation and at least one symbol configured to rotate and move horizontally to represent at least two degrees of freedom of the actual face orientation in real time;
• and
• the processor is configured to obtain the second image of the face when the plurality of symbols representing the degrees of freedom of the desired face orientation and the actual face orientation are aligned.
