Abstract
This imaging guidance device comprises: a storage unit that stores, for each facial part, a target condition of a property of a part image that is an image obtained by imaging the part; a part information acquiring unit that acquires part information related to a facial part to be analyzed of a subject; a part image extracting unit that extracts, from a facial image including the facial part to be analyzed, the part image of the facial part to be analyzed; and a subject guiding unit that guides an imaging state of the subject on the basis of the acquired part information, the extracted part image, and a target value of the property corresponding to the part information.
Claims12
An imaging guidance apparatus, comprising:
- a storage that stores, for each part of a face, a target condition of a characteristic of a part image being a captured image of the part;
- a part information acquirer that acquires part information related to an analysis-target part of a face of a subject;
- a part image extractor that extracts the part image of the analysis-target part of the face from a facial image including the analysis-target part of the face;
- and
- a subject guider that guides an imaging state of the subject based on the part information acquired, the part image extracted, and a target value of the characteristic corresponding to the part information, wherein
- the characteristic is a direction of illumination to the analysis target part, and
- the subject guider guides the imaging state of the subject such that the direction of the illumination is changed depending on the analysis-target part of the face.
An imaging guidance method executed by a computer, comprising:
- storing, for each part of a face, a target condition of a characteristic of a part image being a captured image of the part;
- acquiring part information related to an analysis-target part of a face of a subject;
- extracting the part image of the analysis-target part of the face from a facial image including the analysis-target part of the face;
- and
- guiding an imaging state of the subject based on the part information acquired, the part image extracted, and a target value of the characteristic corresponding to the part information, wherein
- the characteristic is a direction of illumination to the analysis target part, and
- the guiding further comprises guiding the imaging state of the subject such that the direction of the illumination is changed depending on the analysis-target part of the face.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an executable program, which when executed by a processor causes a computer to execute:
- storing, for each part of a face, a target condition of a characteristic of a part image being a captured image of the part;
- acquiring part information related to an analysis-target part of a face of a subject;
- extracting the part image of the analysis-target part of the face from a facial image including the analysis-target part of the face;
- and
- guiding an imaging state of the subject based on the part information acquired, the part image extracted, and a target value of the characteristic corresponding to the part information, wherein
- the characteristic is a direction of illumination to the analysis target part, and
- the guiding further comprises guiding the imaging state of the subject such that the direction of the illumination is changed depending on the analysis-target part of the face.
