Face imaging device

Abstract

A face imaging device capable of imaging a face from plural directions under the same imaging condition, capable of illuminating the face at uniform brightness and capable of obtaining a clear image without causing halation in the image. A face imaging device has an illumination light source (L) provided in a housing (2) in the front of which an opening (6) for inserting a face (3) as the imaging object is formed; a light diffusion plate (7) for diffusing illumination light to illuminate the front side of the face (3) and provided between the opening and the illumination light source (L); an imaging camera (4) provided behind the light diffusion plate (7); a head section supporting member (9) whose position is adjustable in forward-backward and left-right directions and against which a head top side non-observation region of the face (3) is pressed to restrict the position of a head section; a chin placement base (10) for restricting the position of the chin depending on an imaging direction such that the front of the face (3) and left and right cheeks face straight toward the imaging camera (4); and a light shielding body (15) between the illumination light (L) and the imaging camera (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a face photographing device capable of photographing a face from multiple directions under the same photographing conditions. Background technique [0002] For example, in dermatological plastic surgery, plastic surgery, etc., laser treatment is performed by irradiating laser light to the treatment site on the surface of the skin and subcutaneously. [0003] Especially when the treatment part is on the face like acne, since the patient cannot see the treatment part directly, the doctor inputs the image taken by the digital camera into the computer and displays it on the monitor, thereby giving informed consent before the operation (インフオ一 ムドコンセント), confirmation of treatment effect after surgery, and explanation to patients. [0004] However, when taking pictures of the treatment site, since the pictures are taken at an appropriate distance, not only the size of the treatment site is slightly different when viewed as an i...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] In this way, although the skin of the face does not produce reflections, since the camera and the lighting source are on the same side with respect to the light diffusion plate, a part of the light irradiated from the lighting source directly enters the camera, or is reflected by the light diffusion plate. The reflected light reflected on the back side of the camera enters the camera, and a weak vignetting occurs in a part of the screen, which makes the captured image appear whitish, resulting in a new problem that the image is not bright.
