IDENTIFICATION PHOTOGRAPH TAKING DEVICE, IDENTIFICATION PHOTOGRAPH TAKING SYSTEM AND RECORDING MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the brightness of a face constant even in the case illuminating light causes uneven luminance, and also, to obtain a face photograph of the same image quality even in the case the clothes of a person to be photographed are variously changed in terms of color, bright or dark color under the same illumination. SOLUTION: The device is provided with a photographing means 1 for photographing the face image of the person to be photographed 20 under the optional illuminating light and outputting identification photographic image obtaining information Din, a storing means 2 for storing the image obtaining information Din obtained by the photographing means 1, a setting means 3 for setting a photographing area to be used as the identification photograph image among the photographed area of the face image including the background of the person 20 with reference to the storing means 2, and a control means 4 for extracting the luminance value of a back ground set by the setting means and not shielded by the person to be photographed, thereafter, comparing the previously set background reference luminance value with the back ground luminance value after the extraction, and then, photographing the face image of the person 20 based on the comparison result.
