Method and apparatus for photographing moving object

A method for photographing a moving object comprising:

• measuring a velocity of an object;
• calculating a photograph point by using an object-resolution conversion diagram, in accordance with a resolution required for an object image;
• controlling at least one camera on the basis of a detected velocity so as to photograph the object when the object passes the photograph point, said camera having an image sensor and being located so as to capture an image of the object;
• and
• transmitting processor that transmits image data, obtained by said camera, outside
• wherein the object-resolution conversion diagram represents a correspondence relationship between an angle of view, a number of pixels, an object distance, and a resolution.
