Image collection and locating method, and image collection and locating device

An image capturing-based positioning apparatus, comprising:

• a gaze determining module, configured to determine that an eye of a user is gazing at an auxiliary positioning object;
• an eye photographing module, configured to photograph the eye of the user and acquire a distance of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object;
• an image capturing module, configured to capture at least one first image comprising the auxiliary positioning object;
• an information acquisition module, configured to obtain, according to the at least one first image, direction information of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object, and position information of the auxiliary positioning object;
• and
• a positioning module, configured to obtain position information of the user according to the position information of the auxiliary positioning object, the distance of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object, and the direction information.

A computer readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions for:

• determining that an eye of a user is gazing at an auxiliary positioning object;
• acquiring an image corresponding to the eye of the user and calculating a distance of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object;
• capturing at least one image comprising the auxiliary positioning object;
• obtaining, according to the at least one image, direction information of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object and position information of the auxiliary positioning object;
• and
• obtaining position information of the user according to the position information of the auxiliary positioning object, the distance of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object, and the direction information.

An image capturing-based positioning apparatus, comprising a central processing unit and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions, when executed by the central processing unit, configured to perform the following steps:

• determining that an eye of a user is gazing at an auxiliary positioning object;
• acquiring an image corresponding to the eye of the user and calculating a distance of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object;
• capturing at least one image comprising the auxiliary positioning object;
• obtaining, according to the at least one image, direction information of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object and position information of the auxiliary positioning object;
• and
• obtaining position information of the user according to the position information of the auxiliary positioning object, the distance of the user relative to the auxiliary positioning object, and the direction information.
