Claim:
1. A method of generating a three-dimensional (3D) image in a first terminal in cooperation with a second terminal, the method comprising: extrapolating from a view image of an object acquired by the first terminal a view image of the object at a location that is a predetermined distance away from the first terminal wherein the extrapolated view-image corresponds to a view image of the object to be acquired by the second terminal; transmitting the extrapolated view image to the second terminal, wherein the second terminal is posed at the predetermined distance away from the first terminal based on the extrapolated view image; receiving from the second terminal a message which indicates that a distance between the first terminal and the second terminal is an optimal distance for 3D imaging, based on the transmitted extrapolated view image, and notifying information related to the distance between the first terminal and the second terminal for 3D imaging based on the message; and generating a 3D image of the object by using the view image of the object acquired by the first terminal and the view image of the object acquired, when the first and second terminals are separated from each other by the distance between the first terminal and the second terminal which is based on the message, by the second terminal, wherein the acquired view image of the object acquired by the second terminal is a view image which is acquired by camera module of the second terminal, and wherein the optimal distance is related to similarity, determined by the second terminal, between the extrapolated image and a view image of the object viewed from the second terminal.
