1. A method of synthesizing a 3D image performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
modeling a background to be imaged for each of positions to generate a background model at each of the positions;
setting a first inter-axial distance (IAD) of a camera at each of the positions based on the background model at each of the positions;
obtaining a 3D image of the background imaged by the camera based on the first IAD;
selecting a target position corresponding to an object to be imaged from among the positions;
setting a second IAD of the camera at the target position based on the first IAD set at the target position;
obtaining a 3D image of the object imaged by the camera based on the second IAD; and
synthesizing the 3D image of the background and the 3D image of the object.
