A method of acquiring a depth image and an image acquiring apparatus. The method of acquiring the depth image includes receiving a plurality of phase images with respect to a subject, the plurality of phase images having phases different from one another, eliminating noise from the plurality of phase images, and acquiring the depth image with respect to the subject utilizing the plurality of phase images from which noise has been eliminated.

Method of acquiring depth image and image acquiring apparatus using thereof

A method of generating a depth image includes irradiating an object with a light which is generated from a light source, acquiring a plurality of phase difference signals which have different phase differences from one another, by sensing a reflection light reflected from the object, generating a first depth image based on the plurality of phase difference signals, generating a second depth image based on phase difference signals in which a motion artifact has not occurred, among the plurality of phase difference signals, generating a third depth image by combining the first depth image and the second depth image.

Method and apparatus for generating depth image

Provided are methods and apparatuses generating a color image and a depth image by using a first filter that transmits light in multiple wavelength bands and a second filter that transmits light in a particular wavelength band that is included in multiple wavelength bands.

Method and apparatus generating color and depth images

An apparatus and method for capturing a color image and a depth image are utilized as a source of obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) image. The apparatus for capturing the color image and the depth image may include a filtering unit to employ a frame having a polarity which includes an external frame to support a plurality of filters which filter at least one of a visible ray and an infrared (IR) ray from a ray input via a lens, a driving unit to move the filtering unit by pushing or pulling the external frame based on a polarity of an applied signal, and a control unit to control a voltage to be applied to the driving unit based on a distance between the filtering unit and the driving unit.

Apparatus and method for capturing color images and depth images

Provided are methods and apparatuses for reducing noise in an image, in which a kernel that gives a weight to a pixel value with respect to determination of a similarity between patches is adaptively changed according to a reference patch, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for recording the same, and an image processing apparatus using the same, in which noise in an image is removed according to a noise removal algorithm based on non-local means.
