Abstract: A solid-state image capture device includes a first semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor substrate includes a first connection and a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix. The second semiconductor substrate includes a second connection and a pad area including a plurality of pad electrodes for electrical connection with external equipment. The second semiconductor substrate controls the pixel array. The first and second semiconductor substrates are stacked and joined together, with the first and second connections electrically connected to each other. The first and second semiconductor substrates are substantially equal in size, and the pad electrodes are included in only the second semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A 3D imaging apparatus includes: a first image capturing camera generating a base image to be used for obtaining a first range image showing a three-dimensional character of an object; a second image capturing camera generating a reference image to be used for obtaining the first range image; a stereo matching unit searching for corresponding pixels between the base image and the reference image, and generating a first range image by calculating a disparity between the corresponding pixels; and a light source emitting to the object infrared light whose intensity is modulated. The first image capturing camera further generates a second range image by receiving a reflected light in synchronization with the modulated intensity. The reflected light is the infrared light reflected off the object. The second range image includes range information on a range between a point of reflection off the object and the first imaging unit.
