Abstract
An embodiment of this application discloses an image capturing apparatus, including a rolling shutter image sensor, a wheel, and a driving apparatus. The wheel is located on a photosensitive side of the rolling shutter image sensor, and a light shielding part for blocking light and a light transmission part for transmitting light are disposed on the wheel. When the driving apparatus drives the wheel to rotate, the light transmission part on the wheel periodically transmits light, so that a plurality of rows of photosensitive units in the rolling shutter image sensor receive the transmitted light, and convert a light signal into an electric signal through optical-to-electrical conversion. In addition, the rolling shutter image sensor is combined with the wheel, to reduce costs of the image capturing apparatus.
