Image capturing device for capturing an image of a document, comprising: - a support device that is configured to hold a document in place for capturing an image of a feature of the document, in such a manner that a surface of the document to be captured faces downwards; - an illumination device that has a light source for illuminating the document for capturing the image when said document is placed on the support device , and is movable relative to the document in a first movement sphere that extends centred in respect of a midpoint of the positioned document and substantially hemispherical relative to the document ; - a camera device that is configured to capture the image of the document when said document is placed on the support device and that is movable relative to the document and the illumination device in a second movement sphere that extends centred in respect of the midpoint of the positioned document and substantially hemispherical relative to the document ; and - a storage device that is configured to store first position data associated with the image, which data indicate a position of the illumination device within the first movement sphere when the image is being captured, and second position data which indicate a position of the camera device within the second movement sphere when the image is being captured, wherein - the illumination device is arranged for movement within the first movement sphere on an associated first support arm with a quarter-circle or half-circle shape, wherein the first support arm is arranged below the document when said document is placed on the support device ; - the camera device is arranged for movement within the second movement space on an associated second support arm with a quarter-circle or half-circle shape, wherein the second support arm is arranged below the document when said document is placed on the support device ; and - the first and the second associated support arms are rotatable about an axis of rotation . - a support device that is configured to hold a document in place for capturing an image of a feature of the document, in such a manner that a surface of the document to be captured faces downwards; - an illumination device that has a light source for illuminating the document for capturing the image when said document is placed on the support device , and is movable relative to the document in a first movement sphere that extends centred in respect of a midpoint of the positioned document and substantially hemispherical relative to the document ; - a camera device that is configured to capture the image of the document when said document is placed on the support device and that is movable relative to the document and the illumination device in a second movement sphere that extends centred in respect of the midpoint of the positioned document and substantially hemispherical relative to the document ; and - a storage device that is configured to store first position data associated with the image, which data indicate a position of the illumination device within the first movement sphere when the image is being captured, and second position data which indicate a position of the camera device within the second movement sphere when the image is being captured, wherein - the illumination device is arranged for movement within the first movement sphere on an associated first support arm with a quarter-circle or half-circle shape, wherein the first support arm is arranged below the document when said document is placed on the support device ; - the camera device is arranged for movement within the second movement space on an associated second support arm with a quarter-circle or half-circle shape, wherein the second support arm is arranged below the document when said document is placed on the support device ; and - the first and the second associated support arms are rotatable about an axis of rotation . <EOS>
