Information processing apparatus with a camera and an adjustable illuminator, information processing method, and non-transitory recording medium

An information processing method that is executed by at least one computer, the information processing method comprising:

• changing an illumination range of an illuminator that illuminates a target based on a position of the target;
• and
• capturing an image of the target with a camera,
• changing a capturing range of the camera based on the position of the target by moving a mirror based on the position of the target;
• and
• changing the illumination range of the illuminator based on the moving of the mirror,
• wherein the mirror includes a planar surface and a concave surface, and
• the camera captures the target via the planar surface in response to a distance to the target is a first distance, and captures the target via the concave surface in response to the distance to the target is a second distance that is less than the first distance.

A non-transitory recording medium on which a computer program that allows at least one computer to execute an information processing method is recorded, the information processing method including:

• changing an illumination range of an illuminator that illuminates a target based on a position of the target;
• and
• capturing an image of the target with a camera,
• changing a capturing range of the camera based on the position of the target by moving a mirror based on the position of the target;
• and
• changing the illumination range of the illuminator based on the moving of the mirror,
• wherein
• the mirror includes a planar surface and a concave surface, and
• the camera captures the target via the planar surface in response to a distance to the target is a first distance, and captures the target via the concave surface in response to the distance to the target is a second distance that is less than the first distance.
