## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for capturing images. The system may determine at least one first object in a first monitoring image acquired by a first capture device. The system may determine a target monitoring position based on position information associated with the at least one first object in the first monitoring image. The system may obtain a second monitoring image associated with the target monitoring position acquired by a second capture device. The system may determine at least one second object in the second monitoring image. The system may identify at least one matched second object from the at least one second object based on relevancy information among the at least one second object and the at least one first object. The system may direct the second capture device to capture at least one capture image of the at least one matched second object.
