ABSTRACT:
An image capturing apparatus for palm authentication captures images of a palm for use in palm authentication. In order to correctly guide the palm of a user into an image capturing region, on one side of a non-contact sensor unit for image capturing the palm, a front face guide is provided for supporting a wrist having a hand to be captured by the non-contact sensor unit. When the palm is to be captured for palm authentication, the front face guide enables guiding the palm naturally to an image capturing region of the sensor unit. Because the front face guide supports the wrist, the palm can correctly be positioned within an image capturing region of the sensor unit.
