Abstract:
1. An object image capture apparatus, comprising: a first camera unit for obtaining a wide-area view image by capturing a wide-area view region; a second camera unit for obtaining a close-up view image by capturing a close-up view region of the wide-area view region; and a control unit for controlling the second camera unit by dividing the wide-area view image into a plurality of blocks, analyzing the resulting blocks, detecting a moving object in a target block, and defining the target block, in which a moving object is detected, as the close-up view region from among the plurality of blocks, wherein the control unit performs division such that the sizes of the plurality of blocks are different from each other in consideration of at least one of Field of View (FOV), resolution and zoom level of the first camera unit and the second camera unit, wherein the control unit controls motion of the second camera unit by defining a reference point for each of the plurality of blocks, and synchronizing a motion coordinate value of the second camera unit with the reference point.
