Patent number: 11310423Abstract: An image capturing method and an image capturing apparatus are provided. An inspection region image of an inspection region is captured by a first image capturing device at a first time point. A control signal is received at a second time point after the first time point. A relative translation relationship and/or a relative rotation relationship of the first image capturing device at the first time point and a second image capturing device at a second time point are calculated. A first three-dimensional coordinate value of the local region relative to the first image capturing device is calculated and the first three-dimensional coordinate value is transformed to a second three-dimensional coordinate value relative to the second image capturing device according to the relative translation relationship and the relative rotation relationship. The second image capturing device is driven to rotate. A local region image of the local region is captured.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Hui-Ping Kuo, Guo-Ruei Chen
