Disclosed is a multi-aperture camera system for improving depth accuracy through a focusing distance scan. The system includes a single optical system including a first aperture through which an RGB optical signal is input and a second aperture through which a non-RGB optical signal is input, the single optical system moving relative to an image sensor to be arranged at positions; an image sensor configured to obtain image sets corresponding to the positions as the single optical system moves to be arranged at the positions, wherein each image set includes an RGB image based on the RGB optical signal and a non-RGB image based on the non-RGB optical signal; and a depth determination unit configured to calculate a disparity in each image set to determine a depth of an object by using the disparity, wherein the first and second apertures have mutually intersecting central positions.

Multi-aperture camera system for improving depth accuracy through focusing distance scan

A multi-aperture camera system includes a first aperture introducing an RGB optical signal, a second aperture distinguished from the first aperture and introducing an optical signal, which is different from the RGB optical signal in wavelength, an image sensor processing the RGB optical signal, which is introduced through the first aperture, and obtaining a first image to an object and configured to process an optical signal, which is introduced through the second aperture and is different from the RGB optical signal in wavelength, and obtaining a second image for the object, and a distance determining part using a disparity between the first image and the second image and determining a distance between the image sensor and the object. The first aperture and the second aperture are formed on a unitary optical system to have different centers each other.
