Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for acquiring depth information are disclosed. To acquire depth information, illumination light of which an amount of light has been modulated by a modulation signal is emitted towards a subject, and an image is captured using an image sensor. An image signal is sequentially acquired from a plurality of rows while shifting a phase of the illumination light at a start exposure time of a row belonging to an intermediate region of a pixel array region of the image sensor. Depth information is calculated from image signals acquired during a plurality of frames while shifting a phase of the modulation signal.
Abstract:
A depth image measuring camera includes an illumination device configured to irradiate an object with light, and a light-modulating optical system configured to receive the light reflected from the object. The depth image measuring camera includes an image sensor configured to generate an image of the object by receiving light incident on the image sensor that passes through the light-modulating optical system. The light-modulating optical system includes a plurality of lenses having a same optical axis, and an optical modulator configured to operate in two modes for measuring a depth of the object.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image sensor device and an electronic apparatus including the 3D image sensor device are provided. The 3D image sensor device includes: a shutter driver that generates a driving voltage of a sine wave biased with a first bias voltage, from a loss-compensated recycling energy; an optical shutter that varies transmittance of reflective light reflected from a subject, according to the driving voltage, and modulates the reflective light to generate at least two optical modulation signals having different phases; and an image generator that generates 3D image data for the subject which includes depth information calculated based on a phase difference between the at least two optical modulation signals.
