Abstract:
A moving object picture shooting system comprising:a shooting means for shooting a picture of a passenger in a moving object disposed at a desired shooting position of said moving object along a running path of said moving object; a moving object detecting sensor disposed along said running path to detect the approaching side of said moving object; a speed sensor for measuring a running speed of said moving object; a timing control means for deciding on a transit time of said moving object for shooting a picture based on outputs of said detecting sensor and speed sensor, wherein said transit time is determined from a distance between said moving object detecting sensor that detects a front part of said moving object and a center of a field of view of a camera angle of a video camera; and a field selecting means for selecting a respective field from among a first field and a second field in a frame signal which is generated within said video camera, wherein said timing control means controls the operation timing of a shutter and a strobe on the basis of a vertically synchronized pulse signal generated in accordance with at least field information set by said field selecting means.
