ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating an image includes a vehicle moving at a predetermined direction; and a plurality of cameras arranged on the vehicle along a linear line parallel to the predetermined direction and at different angles from each other with respect to the predetermined direction so as to include all areas of images to be acquired. The apparatus forms one image by integrating images at the same point acquired by the cameras, respectively without being synchronized the cameras with each other and using any external sensor.
