Method and apparatus for controlling image acquisition device

A method for controlling an image acquisition device, comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of images photographed by a plurality of image acquisition devices;
• determining an active image acquisition device and an inactive image acquisition device in the plurality of image acquisition devices according to the plurality of images;
• controlling the active image acquisition device to photograph a first image by using a first configuration, and controlling the inactive image acquisition device to photograph a second image by using a second configuration;
• and
• acquiring the first image transmitted by the active image acquisition device, and acquiring the second image transmitted by the inactive image acquisition device;
• wherein a bandwidth required by the active image acquisition device to transmit the first image is greater than a bandwidth required by the inactive image acquisition device to transmit the second image;
• wherein acquiring the first image transmitted by the active image acquisition device, and acquiring the second image transmitted by the inactive image acquisition device comprises:
• acquiring the first image compressed by the active image acquisition device at a first compression ratio and transmitted by the active image acquisition device, and acquiring the second image compressed by the active image acquisition device at a second compression ratio and transmitted by the inactive image acquisition device, the first compression ratio being smaller than the second compression ratio.
