A method and apparatus for omni-directional image and 3-dimensional data
acquisition with data annotation and dynamic rage extension method is
capable of omni-directionally photographing, acquiring 3-dimensional
images photographed by cameras having each different exposure amount in
connection with the direction of height of an object, extending dynamic
range, and generating an geographical information by entering an
annotation such as photographing location and time into the photographed
images, which can be connected with other geographical information system
database. The apparatus includes one or more multi camera module(s) which
are stacked and formed multi layers in the direction of height for
acquiring 3-dimensional images and extending dynamic range of the
3-dimensional images, wherein each multi camera module includes a
plurality of cameras symmetrically arranged with a specific point in a
plane.
