1. An image capturing device comprising:
an image capturing lens having a central axis; and
an image sensor having a sensor surface and a perpendicular line perpendicular to the sensor surface, the image sensor configured to capture an image of an object surface of an object,
wherein a Scheimpflug angle between the central axis and the perpendicular line is set to an angle other than 0° based on an angle α obtained by subtracting an inclination angle of the object surface from 90°.
