The mechanical arm 1002 is in a semicircular shape, and the mechanical axis of the mechanical arm 1002 is fixedly connected to the rotating console 1001. The mechanical arm 1002 of the upper camera device 1 and the mechanical arm 1002 of the lower camera device 2 are opened opposite to each other, and the camera modules 1003 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the semicircular arc of the mechanical arm 1002. The projection of the mechanical arm of the upper camera device 1 on the coated glass 4 is perpendicular to the projection of the mechanical arm 1002 of the lower camera device 2 on the coated glass 4.

[0020] In the above embodiment, the omnidirectional stereo camera device can achieve 360-degree camera shooting. The object to be photographed is placed on the coated glass 4, and the coated glass 4 can reduce refraction, reflection, and glare. Under the action of the rotating console 1001, the upper camera device 1 and the lower camera device 2 are combined. Under the action of the rotating console 1001, the rotation angle of the mechanical arm is 180°. The mechanical arm 1002 of the upper camera device 1 and the mechanical arm 1002 of the lower camera device 2 remain in a "vertical" state at any time, so that the object can be photographed 360 degrees without blind spots.

[0021] Furthermore, the bracket 3 includes a plurality of brackets, and the top end of each bracket 3 is evenly distributed at the edge of the upper fixed plate 1005, and the bottom end is evenly distributed at the edge of the lower fixed plate 1006. The inner side wall of the bracket 3 located at the upper camera device 1 and the inner side wall of the bracket 3 located at the lower camera device 2 are both provided with vertical background lights. The omnidirectional stereoscopic camera device also includes an upper background cloth 1007 and a lower background cloth 1008.

When connected to a 3D printer, a 1:1 model can be quickly printed.

[0025] When an omnidirectional stereo camera device of the present invention is implemented, an object is placed from the object placement door 1009 onto the upper coated glass 4, the camera on the camera module 1003 is started, and then the rotating motor 1101 of the upper camera device 1 and the lower camera device 2 is started. According to the scene requirements, the picture is shot, and the entire scene of the object can be captured in the camera.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: through structural improvements, the upper camera device and the lower camera device are vertically divided. In the initial state, since the projections of the mechanical arms of the upper camera device and the lower camera device on the coated glass are perpendicular to each other, the rotary motors of the upper camera device and the lower camera device drive the rotary control console to rotate, driving the mechanical arms to rotate 180 degrees, so as to take a panoramic photo of the object and realize a true 360-degree video. In the horizontal direction, a left and right layout is added, and 360-degree photos can be obtained at the same time by rotating only 180 degrees, which greatly improves the shooting efficiency. In addition, the design of the upper camera device is the same as that of the lower camera device, which reduces the number of mechanical operations, thereby improving the service life of the entire equipment.
