Patent ID: 8487926

Claim:
A method of generating a 3D image comprising: modifying image deterioration according to a perspective view by normalizing a plurality of 2D images each of which partially show a scene; generating a 2D panorama image showing the whole scene by combining the normalized plurality of 2D images; and generating a 3D image by folding the 2D panorama image on the basis of image information on the 2D panorama image using a computer, wherein, the normalizing the plurality of 2D images is performed automatically and comprises: detecting edges of the plurality of 2D images to divide the plurality of 2D images according to lines corresponding to the detected edges; rotating lines of the parts of the plurality of 2D images divided b the divider to be in parallel with each other in a vertical direction; and unfolding the divided parts including the rotated lines such that side surfaces of an object in the scene face forward.
