Abstract
A 3D camera and a photographing method thereof are provided. The 3D camera includes an image 1 photographing unit and an image 2 photographing unit in the same optical system and a processing system that processes data of the image 1 photographing unit and the image 2 photographing unit. The processing system includes a control unit that controls image photographing by the image 1 photographing unit and the image 2 photographing unit, a recording and storage unit that performs processing on the control unit, and a 3D coordinate calculation unit that performs calculation on the recording and storage unit. 3D coordinates of an object point in 3D space or all space object points constituting a 3D object directly facing the camera are calculated by simultaneously photographing one or more pairs of images for the object point in the 3D space or all space object points constituting the 3D object.
