1. A terminal for generating an augmented reality, the terminal comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a position or a direction associated with the terminal;
a camera configured to output an image;
a terminal posture estimator configured to estimate a posture of the terminal based on the position and the direction associated with the terminal detected by the sensor;
a virtual object composition device configured to compose a virtual object and the image input by the camera; and
a controller configured to;
determine whether camera property information is stored when generating an augmented reality is requested,request camera property information of the terminal from a camera property information providing server when the camera property information is not stored, andcompose the virtual object and the image based on the camera property information and the estimated posture when the requested camera property information is received.

Abstract
A terminal for generating an augmented reality and a method thereof are provided. The terminal includes a camera property information providing server configured to store camera property information associated with one or more cameras, and the terminal is configured to receive, from the camera property information providing server, camera property information associated with a camera included in the terminal and generate an augmented reality based on the stored camera property information when an augmented reality-based application is driven and thus, may provide an augmented reality in which a virtual object is accurately matched to an image.
