Abstract
The present invention provides a technology that acquires a high resolution iris image more quickly than before. An iris capture apparatus according to one example embodiment of the present invention includes a rotatable movable mirror; a control unit that controls rotation of the movable mirror; a capture unit that captures different regions of a face of a user via the movable mirror and outputs a group of images every time the control unit rotates the movable mirror by a predetermined angle; and an iris image acquisition unit that acquires an image of an iris of the user from the group of images.
Claims20
An iris capture apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- activate a human sensor;
- and
- acquire, after the human sensor has detected a user, a first image, the first image depicting an iris of the user, by:
- rotating a rotatable movable mirror of the iris capture apparatus repeatedly by a predetermined angle;
- capturing different regions of a face of the user and outputting a group of images when the rotatable movable mirror is rotated by the predetermined angle;
- and
- identifying an image depicting the iris of the user from the group of images as the first image.
A method of iris capturing comprising:
- activating a human sensor;
- and
- acquiring a first image after the human sensor has detected a user, the first image depicting an iris of the user, by:
- rotating a rotatable movable mirror of the iris capture apparatus repeatedly by a predetermined angle;
- capturing different regions of a face of the user and outputting a group of images when the rotatable movable mirror is rotated by the predetermined angle;
- and
- identifying an image depicting the iris of the user from the group of images as the first image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein a program for performing a method of iris capturing comprising:
- activating a human sensor;
- and
- acquiring a first image after the human sensor has detected a user, the first image depicting an iris of the user, by:
- rotating a rotatable movable mirror of the iris capture apparatus repeatedly by a predetermined angle;
- capturing different regions of a face of the user and outputting a group of images when the rotatable movable mirror is rotated by the predetermined angle;
- and
- identifying an image depicting the iris of the user from the group of images as the first image.
