Abstract:
The present invention relates to an RGB-IR sensor, and a method and an apparatus for obtaining a 3D image by using the same. The RGB-IR sensor according to the present invention comprises: a first pixel basic unit including one of each of R, G, B and IR pixels; and a second pixel basic unit in which the R, G, B and IR pixels are arranged in a different order from those in the first pixel basic unit, wherein the RGB-IR sensor is comprised by alternately arranging the first pixel basic unit and the second pixel basic unit in a horizontal direction, and wherein R, G, B and IR pixel arrangements in the first pixel basic unit and the second pixel basic unit are determined so that the position of IR-pixels in the RGB-IR sensor are not equidistance apart from each other.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for obtaining a 3D image. The apparatus for obtaining the 3D image, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises a light transmitting portion for emitting infrared ray (IR) structured light onto a recognized object; a light receiving portion comprising an RGB-IR sensor for receiving infrared rays and visible light reflected from the recognized object; a processor for obtaining 3D image information including depth information and a visible light image of the recognized object by using each of the infrared rays and the visible light, which are received by the light receiving portion; and a lighting portion for controlling a lighting cycle of the infrared ray (IR) structured light. Also, the present invention further comprises an image recovery portion for recovering a 3D image of the recognized object by using the 3D image information which is obtained by the processor, and a display portion for providing the recovered 3D image on a visual screen. The present invention, by means of the method and the apparatus, for obtaining the 3D image, can adaptively respond to the brightness of ambient light so as to eliminate interference by the RGB-IR sensor. As a result, more accurate 3D images can be obtained regardless of time or place of image capturing, such as night, day, a dark space, or a bright space.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) camera and a method for controlling the same are provided. In sensing RGB light and infrared (IR) light, the RGB light and the IR light are prevented from acting as optical noise to each other.
