Abstract:
An article image capturing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a camera that captures an image of an article. A first lighting unit illuminates a first side of the article facing the camera. The article is positioned between a second lighting unit and the camera. The second lighting unit illuminates a second side of the article. The camera captures a first image of the surface when the first lighting unit is turned on. The camera captures a second image of the surface when the first lighting unit is turned off and the second lighting unit is turned on. A processor determines, based on the second image, an outer shape of the article. The processor extracts, from the first image, an image of the article based on the outer shape of the article. A storage device saves the extracted image of the article.

Claim (Index 6):
The device according to  claim 4 , further comprising:\n a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the transparent plate, wherein the processor is further configured to:\n after the fifth and sixth images are captured, control the rotation mechanism to rotate the transparent plate by a predetermined degree, \n after the transparent plate is rotated by the predetermined degree, capture, with the right side camera, a seventh image of the right side of the surface in a state in which the right side lighting unit is turned on, and capture, with the right side camera, an eighth image of the surface in a state in which the right side lighting unit is turned off and the left side lighting unit is turned on, \n determine, based on the eight image, an outer shape of a right side of the article after the transparent plate is rotated by the predetermined degree, \n extract, from the seventh image, an image of the right side of article after the transparent plate is rotated by the predetermined degree, based on the outer shape of the right side of the article, and \n store the extracted image of the right side of the article after the transparent plate is rotated by the predetermined degree, in the storage device.
