  • Patent number: 10382672
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus and method are provided. The image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit including a camera, the image capturing unit configured to capture an image, and a controller connected to the image capturing unit. The controller is configured to set a position of a focus lens at a distance at which an object of the image to be captured is predicted to be positioned, to measure a movement speed of the object of the image to be captured, to determine an image capturing time by predicting a time until the object reaches the set position of the focus lens based on the measured movement speed, and to control the image capturing unit to capture the image of the object at the determined image capturing time.
