Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes: a coordinate value acquisition unit acquiring first coordinate values serving as position information of a moving target; an image capturing unit capturing an image of the target; a direction and distance calculation unit calculating a direction of an optical axis that connects the target and the image capturing unit and a distance between the target and the image capturing unit on the optical axis based on the first coordinate values and second coordinate values serving as position information of the image capturing unit; an attitude control unit controlling an attitude of the image capturing unit based on the calculated direction of the optical axis; and an imaging magnification setting unit setting an imaging magnification of the target in the image capturing unit based on the calculated distance, wherein the image of the target is captured while changing the imaging magnification and the attitude.
