Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method for eliminating blooming streak of an acquired image is capable of eliminating blooming streaks in the acquired image photographing an object together with a light source by mutually replacing the blooming streaks in the acquired image with a partial image corresponding to the blooming streaks from other acquired image, wherein each image is acquired by cameras with changing the arrangement direction of the CCD sensors of the cameras.
