IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, ADJUSTING DEVICE, AND OPTICAL AXIS ADJUSTING SYSTEM FOR IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An image capturing device that is mounted on a vehicle and that is for capturing an image of a periphery of the vehicle, the image capturing device comprising:
- a parameter setting section configured to, (A) during ordinary times, set a setting parameter for image-capturing to a value that depends on a brightness of an image-capturing environment, and, (B) at a time of adjusting an optical axis, set the setting parameter to a predetermined adjustment setting value; and
an optical axis adjusting section configured to adjust the optical axis based on an image captured in a state where the setting parameter is set to be the adjustment setting value.

Abstract
Provided is an image capturing device.
The image capturing device includes: a parameter setting section that automatically sets, (A) during ordinary times, a setting parameter for image-capturing to a value that depends on brightness of an image-capturing environment, and that sets, (B) at a time of the adjusting of the optical axis, the setting parameter to a predetermined adjustment setting value; a setting value receiving section that receives the adjustment setting value from the adjusting device when the adjusting of the optical axis is initiated; and an optical axis adjusting section that adjusts the optical axis based on an image captured in a state where the setting parameter is set to be the adjustment setting value. The adjusting device includes: a setting value storing section that stores the adjustment setting value in advance; and a setting value transmitting section that transmits the adjustment setting value to the image capturing device.

17. An adjusting device included in an optical axis adjusting system for adjusting an optical axis of an image capturing device that is mounted on a vehicle and that captures an image of a periphery of the vehicle, the adjusting device comprising:
-
a setting value storing section configured to store, in advance, an adjustment setting value that is used as a value of a setting parameter for image-capturing when the adjusting of the optical axis of the image capturing device is conducted; and a setting value transmitting section configured to transmit the adjustment setting value to the image capturing device.
