This application relates to an image acquisition method performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying a mapping pattern corresponding to a key area of a target part of a target object in response to a pattern display operation triggered by the target object; changing a display state of the currently displayed mapping pattern when a relative position of the target part relative to an image acquisition element changes; and acquiring a key area image of the target part contactlessly by using the image acquisition element when the currently displayed mapping pattern matches a preset recognition pattern.
