Abstract

A collation device includes a light source unit; a camera unit that receives light emitted from the light source unit and reflected in a collation area of an object to acquire a photographed image of the collation area; and a processor configured to, by executing a program: detect a positional relationship between the light source unit and the camera unit by using the photographed image, and notify of a collation result between the photographed image and a registered image prepared in advance by using the positional relationship.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A collation device comprising:
a light source unit;
a camera unit that receives light emitted from the light source unit and reflected in a collation area of an object to acquire a photographed image of the collation area; and
a processor configured to, by executing a program:
detect a bright spot portion of the light emitted from the light source unit from the photographed image obtained from the camera unit;
detect a distance between the light source unit and the camera unit by using a position of the bright spot portion from the photographed image;
detect a positional relationship between among the light source unit, the camera unit, and the collation area in the photographed image according to the distance between the light source unit and the camera unit; and
notify of a collation result between the photographed image and a registered image prepared in advance by using the positional relationship.

2. A collation device comprising:
a light source unit;
a camera unit that receives light emitted from the light source unit and reflected in a collation area of an object to acquire a photographed image of the collation area;
a display unit; and
a processor configured to, by executing a program:
detect a distance between the light source unit and the camera unit by using the photographed image;
display a guide providing an instruction for a positional relationship among the light source unit, the camera unit, and the collation area in the photographed image on the display unit according to the distance between the light source and the camera unit; and
notify of a collation result between a registered image prepared in advance in the same positional relationship as the positional relationship as instructed by the guide and the photographed image photographed in accordance with the guide.

3. The collation device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display a guide providing an instruction for a positional relationship between a bright spot portion of the light source unit and the collation area in the photographed image on the display unit.

4. The collation device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
detect a bright spot portion of the light source unit or brightness distribution of the photographed image, included in the photographed image, and
detect the positional relationship between the light source unit and the camera unit by using the bright spot portion or the brightness distribution.

5. The collation device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the guide on the display unit in a case where a surface on which the light source unit and the camera unit are mounted and a surface of the collation area are substantially parallel.

6. The collation device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the guide on the display unit so that a projection position of the light source unit, the collation area, and the bright spot portion are positioned on a straight line in a case where the light source unit is projected onto the surface of the collation area.

7. The collation device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the guide on the display unit so that a projection position of the light source unit, the collation area, and the bright spot portion have a specific positional relationship on a non-straight line in a case where the light source unit is projected onto the surface of the collation area.

8. The collation device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display, as a first collation, the guide on the display unit so that a projection position of the light source unit, the collation area, and the bright spot portion are positioned on a straight line in a case where the light source unit is projected onto a surface of the collation area, and
display, as an additional collation, the guide on the display unit so that the projection position of the light source unit, the collation area, and the bright spot portion have a specific positional relationship on a straight line or a non-straight line in a case where the light source unit is projected onto the surface of the collation area.

9. The collation device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
acquire a plurality of photographed images, and
display the guide on the display unit so that a projection position of the light source unit, the collation area, and the bright spot portion have a different positional relationship at a time of acquiring each photographed image.

10. The collation device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:
detect that the surface on which the light source unit and the camera unit are mounted and the surface of the collation area are substantially parallel by using the photographed image.

11. The collation device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display an angle guide on the display unit so that the surface on which the light source unit and the camera unit are mounted and the surface of the collation area are parallel in a case where the surfaces are not substantially parallel.

12. The collation device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the registered image is an image photographed by a registration machine in advance assuming that a distance between the light source unit and the camera unit is within a predetermined range.

13. The collation device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the registered image includes a first image photographed by a registration machine in advance assuming that a distance between the light source unit and the camera unit is within a predetermined range and a second image photographed by the registration machine in advance assuming that the distance is within a range other than the range.

14. The collation device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
display the guide on the display unit, and change a display mode of the guide according to a distance between the light source unit and the camera unit.

15. The collation device according to claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to:
change, in a case where the distance between the light source unit and the camera unit is different from a predetermined distance, at least one of a display position or a display size of the guide in a case where the distances are the same.

16. The collation device according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
change, in a case where the distance between the light source unit and the camera unit is larger than the predetermined distance, the display position of the guide to a position closer to an image center of the display unit than the display position in a case where the distances are the same.

17. The collation device according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
change, in a case where the distance between the light source unit and the camera unit is larger than the predetermined distance, the display size to a size smaller than the display size in a case where the distances are the same.

18. The collation device according to claim 14 ,
wherein the registered image includes a first image photographed by a registration machine in advance assuming that a reflection surface angle of light in a case where the light from the light source is emitted to the collation area, reflected in the collation area, and incident on the camera unit is within a fixed range, and a second image registered in advance by t
