1. An image acquisition apparatus comprising:
- a main body having a stage configured to support an object;
a preview camera module provided above the stage and configured to acquire a preview image of the object supported on the stage;
at least one main camera module provided above the stage and configured to rotate, about a rotation axis substantially orthogonal to the stage, to acquire a plurality of partial images of the object supported on the stage, the partial images respectively corresponding to different rotational positions of the at least one main camera module; and
at least one processor configured to produce an image of the object by synthesizing the acquired plurality of partial images of the object,wherein at least a portion of each partial image of the plurality of partial images acquired by the at least one main camera module overlaps another partial image of the plurality of partial images.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a main body having a stage on which an object to be scanned is supported; a camera module that acquires partial images by photographing a part of the object to be scanned; a rotational body in which the camera module is installed and which is rotatably provided; a driving unit that controls a rotational motion of the rotational body; and an image processing unit that forms a synthesized image by synthesizing the partial images acquired by the camera module, the apparatus capable of acquiring an image with high resolution.

12. An image acquisition apparatus comprising:
-
a stage having a support surface configured to support an object; a rotational body configured to rotate above the stage about a rotation axis perpendicular to the support surface; and at least one main camera module installed at an eccentric position with respect to the rotation axis of the rotational body and configured to acquire a plurality of partial images of the object by photographing portions of the object supported on the stage respectively corresponding to different rotational positions of the rotational body, wherein at least a portion of each partial image of the plurality of partial images acquired by the at least one main camera module overlaps another partial image of the plurality of partial images. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a stage configured to support an object; a camera module that is rotatably provided above the stage, configured to rotate, about a rotation axis substantially orthogonal to the stage, and is configured to acquire a plurality of partial images of the object by photographing a portion of the object at a time respectively corresponding to different rotational positions of the camera module; at least one processor configured to form a synthesized image by synthesizing the plurality of partial images acquired by the camera module; and a printer configured to print the synthesized image formed by the at least one processor on a recording medium, wherein at least a portion of each partial image of the plurality of partial images acquired by the camera module overlaps another partial image of the plurality of partial images. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
