Display device, display method, and computer-readable recording medium

A display device comprising:

• an imaging device configured to capture an image of an object and to generate image data of the object;
• a display configured to display the image corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging device;
• and
• a display controller configured to cause the display to display a sample image in which at least a line of sight of the object has been changed from a front to a direction other than the front when the imaging device captures the image of the object;
• a composition determination processor configured to determine whether or not a composition of the object in the sample image and a composition of the object corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging device are matched;
• and
• an imaging controller configured to cause the imaging device to capture images when the composition determination processor determines that the composition of the object in the sample image and the composition of the object corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging device are matched;
• wherein
• an imaging direction of the imaging device and a display direction of the display are matched.

A display method executed by a display device that includes:

• an imaging device configured to capture an image of an object and to generate image data of the object;
• and a display configured to display the image corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging device, wherein an imaging direction of the imaging device and a display direction of the display are matched,
• the method comprising a displaying steps of:
• generating a sample image from the image data in which at least a line of sight of the object has been changed from a front to a direction other than the front when the imaging device captures the image of the object;
• displaying, on the display, the image and the sample image for comparison;
• and
• receiving an instruction signal from an input for selecting one of the image and the sample image displayed on the display.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium with an executable program stored thereon, the program instructing a display device to:

• communicate with an imaging device to capture an image of an object and to generate image data of the object;
• and
• communicate with a display to display the image corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging device, wherein an imaging direction of the imaging device and a display direction of the display are matched,
• generate a sample image from the image data in which at least a line of sight of the object has been changed from a front to a direction other than the front when the imaging device captures the image of the object;
• display, on the display, the image and the sample image for comparison;
• and
• receive an instruction signal from an input for selecting one of the image and the sample image displayed on the display.
