Information processing apparatus, mobile machine, image capturing system, image capturing control method, and program

An image capturing system, comprising:

• a mobile machine;
• and
• an information processing apparatus including:
• a memory which stores a reference image for a test object, the reference image being captured at a specific image capturing position, such that the reference image is associated with an image capturing condition information;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to, for each meter of a plurality of meters:
• specify an image capturing pattern associated with the reference image, wherein the image capturing pattern is indicated in the image capturing condition information;
• control the mobile machine to move to an image capturing position for the meter according to the image capturing pattern,
• set an image capturing condition corresponding to the image capturing position and according to the image capturing pattern;
• and
• control the mobile machine to, at the image capturing position and according to the image capturing condition, capture of the image of the meter such that a value of the meter is readable in the image.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by an information processing apparatus cause the information processing apparatus to:

• store a reference image for a test object, the reference image being captured at a specific image capturing position, such that the reference image is associated with an image capturing condition information;
• and
• for each meter of a plurality of meters:
• specify an image capturing pattern associated with the reference image, wherein the image capturing pattern is indicated in the image capturing condition information;
• control a mobile machine to move to an image capturing position for the meter according to the image capturing pattern;
• set an image capturing condition corresponding to the image capturing position and according to the image capturing pattern;
• and
• control the mobile machine to, at the image capturing position and according to the image capturing condition, capture an image of the meter such that a value of the meter is readable in the image.
