Abstract:
Light is emitted on one side of a paper sheet  100,  which is being transported on a transport path, from a first light source  11,  and light is emitted on other side of the paper sheet  100  from a second light source  21  and a fourth light source  22.  A first light receiving sensor  14  receives a first reflected light, which is the light emitted by the first light source  11  and reflected from the one side of the paper sheet  100.  A second light receiving sensor  24  receives a second reflected light, which is the light emitted by the second light source  21  and the fourth light source  22  and reflected from the other side of the paper sheet  100,  and receives a transmitted light that is the light emitted by the first light source  11  and that has passed through the paper sheet  100.  With this, satisfactory reflection image and transmission image of the paper sheet can be acquired while realizing the downsizing of the device.

Claim (Index 1):
An image acquisition device that acquires image data of a paper sheet, comprising:\n a first light source that is arranged to emit light to a first surface of the paper sheet and has directivity by which the light is emitted in a first direction and a second direction; a first light receiving sensor arranged to receive light that has been emitted in the first direction and reflected from the paper sheet; and a second light receiving sensor arranged to receive light that has been emitted in the second direction and passed through the paper sheet, wherein a quantity of light emitted in the second direction is larger than a quantity of light emitted in the first direction.
