IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM, IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
First Claim
1. An image capturing system comprising:
- an infrared light image capturing section that successively captures a plurality of infrared light images of a subject, by means of infrared light;
a timing predicting section that predicts timing at which the subject included in the plurality of infrared light images matches a predetermined condition, based on timing at which each of the plurality of infrared light images is captured and image content of the plurality of infrared light images; and
a visible light image capturing section that captures a visible light image by means of visible light at the timing predicted by the timing predicting section.

Abstract
Visible light image capturing is performed at appropriate timing that corresponds to the action of a subject. An image capturing system includes: an infrared light image capturing section that successively captures a plurality of infrared light images of a subject, by means of infrared light; a timing predicting section that predicts timing at which the subject included in the plurality of infrared light images matches a predetermined condition, based on timing at which each of the plurality of infrared light images is captured and image content of the plurality of infrared light images; and a visible light image capturing section that captures a visible light image by means of visible light at the timing predicted by the timing predicting section.

22. An image capturing method comprising:
-
an infrared light image capturing step of successively capturing a plurality of infrared light images of a subject, by means of infrared light; a timing predicting step of predicting timing at which the subject included in the plurality of infrared light images matches a predetermined condition, based on timing at which each of the plurality of infrared light images is captured and image content of the plurality of infrared light images; and a visible light image capturing step of capturing a visible light image by means of visible light at the timing predicted in the timing predicting step.

23. A computer program product for an image capturing system, the product having computer instructions, recordable on a computer readable medium, for enabling a computer executing the computer instructions to cause the image capturing system to function as:
-
an infrared light image capturing section that successively captures a plurality of infrared light images of a subject, by means of infrared light; a timing predicting section that predicts timing at which the subject included in the plurality of infrared light images matches a predetermined condition, based on timing at which each of the plurality of infrared light images is captured and image content of the plurality of infrared light images; and a visible light image capturing section that captures a visible light image by means of visible light at the timing predicted by the timing predicting section.
