MOVING OBJECT IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM, MOVING OBJECT, GROUND STATION APPARATUS, AND MOVING OBJECT IMAGE CAPTURE METHOD

摘要

A moving object image capture system 100 that captures an image of a moving object includes flying vehicles 1 each of which mounts a camera that captures an image of an earth surface, and captures an image of the earth surface locating a specified coordinate position by the camera; a moving object 9 which receives distance measurement radio waves transmitted from navigation satellites to measure a coordinate position of the moving object 9 and transmits an image capture request signal for requesting image-taking of the earth surface locating the measured coordinate position; and a ground station apparatus 12 which receives the image capture request signal from the moving object, transmits an image capture instruction signal including the coordinate position of the moving object to one of the flying vehicles, causes the camera mounted on the flying vehicle to capture the image of the earth surface locating the coordinate position of the moving object, and receives from the flying vehicle imagery data obtained by the image capture by the camera.
