Abstract
A facial image capture system may capture images of a face of a person while the person is moving. A video camera may capture sequential images of a scene to which the video camera is directed. A marker-based location detection system may determine and generate information about the location of a marker worn on or close to the face of the person. A camera control system may automatically adjusts both the horizontal and vertical direction to which the video camera is directed so as to cause the sequential images of the camera to each be of the face of the person while the person is moving, based on the information about the location of the marker from the marker-based location detection system.
