Abstract:
A three-dimensional image sensor may include a light source module configured to emit at least one light to an object, a sensing circuit configured to polarize a received light that represents the at least one light reflected from the object and configured to convert the polarized light to electrical signals, and a control unit configured to control the light source module and sensing circuit. A camera may include a receiving lens; a sensor module configured to generate depth data, the depth data including depth information of objects based on a received light from the objects; an engine unit configured to generate a depth map of the objects based on the depth data, configured to segment the objects in the depth map, and configured to generate a control signal for controlling the receiving lens based on the segmented objects; and a motor unit configured to control focusing of the receiving lens.
