Abstract
A system and a method for collecting image information wherein high-quality image information representing desired scenes is obtained with certainty. A subject is shot by cameras from mutually different directions and image information thus acquired is stored on a hard disk. When the subject is shot, location information of the subject is obtained from a radio signal transmitted by a marker which has been provided at the subject in advance. On the basis of the location information, a control device controls shooting angle setting devices for changing respective shooting directions of the cameras so that each of the cameras is oriented in a direction from which the subject can be shot.
