Abstract: A controller controls the readout of an image from iris image pick-up devices for performing image pick-up of an iris of a subject. In the control of the readout of an image from the iris image pick-up devices, the controller sets a region of interest to be treated as a target of the image readout. The controller stores past information, and in the case of performing image processing on the same subject, the controller determines whether or not an eye region of the subject was successfully covered by the region of interest used in the past. In the case of determining that the eye region of the subject was not successfully covered, the controller corrects the readout of an image from the iris image pick-up devices.

Abstract: Iris image pick-up devices perform image pick-up of an iris of a moving subject. Images from the iris image pick-up devices are written to storage areas for transfer in a memory. A readout device reads out an image stored in the storage areas for transfer to a storage area for image processing at a frame interval corresponding to the movement speed of the subject. An image processing unit executes processing using the image read out to the storage area for image processing.

Abstract: Iris image pick-up devices perform image pick-up of an iris of a moving subject. A guiding device guides the subject. A controller predicts a period in which the subject will blink next. Further, the controller predicts a period in which the subject will pass through the focusing point of the iris image pick-up devices. The controller controls the guiding device such that the subject does not blink at the focusing point in the case where the period in which the subject will blink next overlaps with the period in which the subject will pass through the focusing point.

Abstract: An illumination device emits light toward a moving subject. A controller controls light emitted from the illumination device so that the amount of light applied to the subject is adjusted to a specific amount or smaller. For example, when the illumination device emits light in a pulsed manner, the controller may control the amount of light applied to the subject by controlling at least one of the pulse width and the pulse intensity of the light. The controller may, for example, control the light emitted from the illumination device according to the distance between the illumination device and the subject.
