IMAGING CONTROLLER, MOBILE ENTITY, IMAGING CONTROL METHOD, AND NONVOLATILE COMPUTER-READABLE DATA RECORDING MEDIUM IN WHICH IMAGING CONTROL PROGRAM IS STORED

摘要

An imaging controller (10) is provided with an image capturing unit (4) for capturing an image of the surroundings of an onboard apparatus, a direction change unit (11) for driving the image capturing unit (4) to change the direction, a direction correction unit (12) for correcting the direction of the image capturing unit (4) to a preset reference direction, and a correction indication unit (13) for indicating, at preset timing, that a direction change process by the direction correction unit (12) be executed. The image capturing unit (4) is mounted in a mobile entity that travels a road surface. The correction indication unit (13) causes the direction correction process to be executed in accordance with timing at which the mobile entity stops. The direction change unit (11) causes the direction of the image capturing unit (4) to be changed to a direction in which to capture an image after the direction correction process.
