Abstract: An intraoral camera system includes an imaging unit that generates image data by capturing an image of a tooth inside the mouth of a user, an area detector that detects the orientation of the imaging unit according to output by a multi-axis acceleration sensor and detects, according to the orientation detected, an area whose image is being captured by the imaging unit from among areas inside the mouth, the areas being determined by dividing a dentition into sections, and an identifier that narrows candidates which are combinations of tooth types and tooth positions down to fewer candidates to be used, according to the image data and the area detected, and identifies the type and the position of the tooth according to the narrowed candidates and the image data.
