Abstract
An apparatus and method for creating a three-dimensional (3D) panoramic image using a single camera are provided. The method includes capturing an object from a plurality of viewpoints, determining at least one capture viewpoint from which an image is obtained by capturing the object, among the plurality of viewpoints, collecting at least one image of the captured object from the at least one capture viewpoint, and creating a 3D image from the collected at least one image.

8. A three-dimensional (3D) image generation method of a portable terminal device, the 3D image generation method comprising:
-
determining at least one capture viewpoint from which an image is obtained by capturing an object from a plurality of viewpoints; collecting at least one image of the captured object from the at least one capture viewpoint; and creating a 3D image from the at least one collected image using at least one processor, wherein the plurality of viewpoints are classified based on a rotation in a fixed location. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A portable terminal device for generating a three dimensional (3D) image, comprising:
-
a capturing unit which captures the object from the plurality of viewpoints generated by a rotation in a fixed location; an image capture determination unit, using at least one processor, to determine at least one capture viewpoint, which is classified as a rotation angle of a selected size, by determining the selected size of the rotation angle so that images of the object captured from consecutive capture viewpoints are superimposed on at least one predetermined area; and an image collection unit to collect at least one image of the captured object from the at least one capture viewpoint for generation of the 3D image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
