Abstract
In an electronic apparatus that captures images, characters in an image are accurately recognized.The electronic apparatus includes an imaging section, a distance measurement section, a shape estimation section, and a coordinate conversion section. The imaging section images an object and captures image data. The distance measurement section measures distances from the imaging section to a plurality of measurement points on a surface of the object. The shape estimation section estimates a shape of the object from the measured distances. The coordinate conversion section performs coordinate conversion on the image data, the coordinate conversion including converting three-dimensional coordinates on the surface of the object into plane coordinates on a predetermined reference plane on the basis of the estimated shape.
