The processor recognizes a first act for an imaging and print instruction that combines an imaging instruction and an instruction to print an image, the first act being performed by a person to be imaged who is included in a subject and within an imaging range of a camera unit, causes the camera unit to perform an imaging operation of outputting an image required to be printed in a case where the first act is recognized, recognizes a second act for an instruction to stop printing the image required to be printed, and causes a printer unit to print the image required to be printed in a case where the second act is not recognized during a predetermined print standby period and instructs the printer unit to stop printing the image required to be printed in a case where the second act is recognized during the print standby period.

Apparatus and method for generating and printing of photographs for identification documents, which allow you to print photographs for identification documents with a plain color background without using a plain color background during photographing the user, or using an uploaded photograph with an arbitrary background. The apparatus may include one or more cameras configured to photograph the user. The apparatus may include one or more video displays and devices for user interaction. The apparatus may include one or more payment devices. A user takes or uploads a photo with an arbitrary background and position of a person, after which automatic algorithms process the photo, converting it to the required format, including a plain color background, and the correct position of the person. The generated photo then can be printed and/or saved and/or sent to the user using one of the communication channels.

A photo booth system including a photo booth and a management system for providing self-diagnostic and health reporting. In some cases, the photo booth and/or the management system may initiate a diagnostic test to determine the photo booth's operational state. In some cases, the management system may select and/or dispatch a maintenance personnel to the photo booth if the booth is experiencing an issue.

This method for acquiring photographic portraits of an individual consists: in acquiring a biometric image of the face of the individual by means of at least one digital camera (22), concomitantly with this acquisition, illuminating said face of the individual with at least two separate light sources that are not centered on said face, said light sources consisting of light-emitting diodes (38) managed by a PWM system.

At least two acquisitions of said face are carried out, respectively: using a standard illumination, with a view to allowing the biometric acquisition of said face by said camera (22); using a differentiated illumination, that is, whereby said at least two light sources (36, 37) generate a lighting effect on said face, also acquired by said camera.

These two acquisitions are carried out non-simultaneously and randomly during a short length of time.

The central control and processing unit is adapted to process said acquisitions and to determine after processing of the acquisition using a differentiated illumination whether an artifact is present or absent.

A projector and a camera are each disposed behind a transparent projection surface. The projector is to rear-project a first image onto the transparent projection surface, whereas the camera is to capture a second image in front of the transparent projection surface. Capture by the camera of the first image as reflected back by the transparent projection surface after rearprojection by the projector, as part of the second image, is minimized.
