Abstract

A collation device includes a processor configured to: acquire plural captured images obtained by capturing an inspection image to be collated, while changing an irradiation direction of light to be emitted; and provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image included in each of the captured images, and a collation image of which pattern changes depending on the irradiation direction of the light, according to a similarity between plural registered images obtained by capturing in advance the collation image while changing the irradiation direction of the light to be emitted to the collation image, and the inspection image, after adjusting a positional relationship between a camera, a light source, and an image to be identical to a positional relationship between a camera that captures the inspection image at a time of capturing the inspection image, a light source that irradiates the inspection image with light, and the inspection image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A collation device comprising:
a processor configured to:
acquire a plurality of captured images obtained by capturing an inspection image to be collated, while changing an irradiation direction of light to be emitted; and
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image included in each of the captured images, and a collation image of which pattern changes depending on the irradiation direction of the light, according to a similarity between a plurality of registered images obtained by capturing in advance the collation image while changing the irradiation direction of the light to be emitted to the collation image, and the inspection image, after adjusting a positional relationship between a camera, a light source, and an image to be identical to a positional relationship between a camera that captures the inspection image at a time of capturing the inspection image, a light source that irradiates the inspection image with light, and the inspection image.

2 . The collation device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide the notification of the collation result, by using the registered images including four images captured by shifting the irradiation direction of the light irradiating the collation image by 90 degrees along a periphery of the collation image.

3 . The collation device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of the collation result, by using the registered images including in addition to the four images, four additional images captured by shifting the irradiation direction of the light by less than 90 degrees along the periphery of the collation image, with respect to an irradiation direction of each light irradiating the collation image in a case of capturing the four images.

4 . The collation device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
add as the four additional images, images captured by shifting the irradiation direction of the light by 45 degrees along the periphery of the collation image, with respect to an irradiation direction of each light irradiating the collation image in a case of capturing the four images, to the registered images.

5 . The collation device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images captured by the light emitted from one point light source.

6 . The collation device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images captured by the light emitted from one point light source.

7 . The collation device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images captured by the light emitted from one point light source.

8 . The collation device according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images captured by the light emitted from one point light source.

9 . The collation device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images in which an angle between an optical axis of the point light source and an optical axis of a camera in a first image-capturing device that captures the registered images is adjusted according to an angle between an optical axis of a camera in a second image-capturing device that captures the inspection image and an optical axis of a built-in point light source built in the second image-capturing device.

10 . The collation device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images in which an angle between an optical axis of the point light source and an optical axis of a camera in a first image-capturing device that captures the registered images is adjusted according to an angle between an optical axis of a camera in a second image-capturing device that captures the inspection image and an optical axis of a built-in point light source built in the second image-capturing device.

11 . The collation device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images in which an angle between an optical axis of the point light source and an optical axis of a camera in a first image-capturing device that captures the registered images is adjusted according to an angle between an optical axis of a camera in a second image-capturing device that captures the inspection image and an optical axis of a built-in point light source built in the second image-capturing device.

12 . The collation device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
provide a notification of a collation result between the inspection image and the collation image, by using the registered images in which an angle between an optical axis of the point light source and an optical axis of a camera in a first image-capturing device that captures the registered images is adjusted according to an angle between an optical axis of a camera in a second image-capturing device that captures the inspection image and an optical axis of a built-in point light source built in the second image-capturing device.

13 . The collation device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the collation image is a three-dimensional image formed three-dimensionally on a recording medium.

14 . The collation device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the collation image is a three-dimensional image formed three-dimensionally on a recording medium.

15 . The collation device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the collation image is a three-dimensional image formed three-dimensionally on a recording medium.

16 . The collation device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the collation image is a three-dimensional image formed three-dimensionally on a recording medium.

17 . The collation device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the collation image is a three-dimensional image formed three-dimensionally on a recording medium.

18 . The collation device according to claim 13 ,
wherein the three-dimensional image is an image formed by fixing powder on the recording medium.

19 . The collation device according to claim 18 ,
wherein the image formed by the powder is an image composed of black or silver powder on a surface of the recording medium.

20 . The collation device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the collation image is an image of a surface of an object to which a material composed of a mixture of silver powder is attached.
