Abstract

A mark irradiation unit (130) irradiates an object with a mark. An image capture unit (140) captures an image of the object, and generates image data. Then, an image capture area data generation unit recognizes a position of the mark in the object, and cuts out image capture area data which is a part of the image data on the basis of the mark. For this reason, the mark irradiation unit (130) irradiates the object with the mark, and thus even when a positioning symbol is not printed on the object to be stored as the image data, only a necessary portion in the image data is cut out.

Claims

1. An image capture system, comprising:

an image capture device; and

an illumination device,

wherein the image capture device comprises;

an image capture unit which captures an image of the object and

generates image data; and

an image processing unit that processes the image data,

wherein the illumination device comprises;

a holding member which holds the image capture device,

an illumination unit that illuminates light and is held by the holding member; and

a pedestal that comprises an input unit, the input unit controls the image capture unit and the illumination unit.

2. The image capture system according to claim 1, further comprising a mark irradiation unit which draws an edge of an image capture area.

3. The image capture system according to claim 1, wherein the image capture device captures the image in accordance with an input information that is input to the input device.

4. The image capture system according to claim 1, wherein the image processing unit cuts out a part of the image data.

5. The image capture system according to claim 1, wherein the image processing unit performs the trapezoid correction with respect to the image data.

6. The image capture system according to claim 1, wherein the image processing unit corrects the color of the image data.
