Panoramic imaging apparatus and system, method of generating panoramic image using panoramic imaging system, computer-readable recording medium, and computer program stored in computer-readable recording medium

Abstract

Provided are a panoramic imaging apparatus, a panoramic imaging system, a method of generating a panoramic image using the panoramic imaging system, a computer-readable recording medium, and a computer program stored in a computer-readable recording medium. The panoramic imaging apparatus includes a first camera module capturing an omnidirectional image, a second camera module positioned a certain distance away from the first camera module and capturing an omnidirectional image, and a controller generating and storing an image frame based on the omnidirectional image captured by at least one of the first camera module and the second camera module. Each of the first camera module and the second camera module includes two lenses having a viewing angle greater than or equal to 180°, sharing an optical axis, and formed to be convex in opposite directions of each other to capture the omnidirectional image.
