A camera module according to an embodiment includes an image sensor configured to output a plurality of image frames; a lens assembly disposed on the image sensor, the lens assembly forming an optical path of light incident on the image sensor from outside; a controller configured to generate a control signal to adjust at least one of the optical path of the lens assembly or the position of the image sensor relative to the lens assembly; and an image synthesizer configured to synthesize the plurality of image frames to generate a composite image, wherein the composite image has a higher resolution than the plurality of image frames, and wherein the plurality of image frames are respective image frames generated along respectively different optical paths changed by the lens assembly or respective image frames generated by change in the position of the image sensor relative to the lens assembly.

Camera module

A device for extracting depth information according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a light outputting unit for outputting IR (Infrared) light; a light inputting unit for inputting light reflected from an object after outputting from the light outputting unit; a light adjusting unit for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a first area including the object, and then for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a second area; and a controlling unit for estimating the motion of the object by using at least one of the lights between the light inputted to the first area and the light inputted to the second area.

Device for extracting depth information and method thereof

A device for extracting depth information according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light outputting unit for outputting IR (InfraRed) light; a light inputting unit for inputting light reflected from an object after outputting from the light outputting unit; a light adjusting unit for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a first area including the object, and then for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a second area; and a controlling unit for estimating the motion of the object by using at least one of the lights between the light inputted to the first area and the light inputted to the second area.

A camera device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light output unit that outputs IR (infrared) light; a light input unit including a plurality of pixels respectively having a first receiving unit and a second receiving unit, and having light that is reflected by an object and input therein after the light is output from the light output unit; and a calculating unit that calculates the distance to the object by using the difference in the amount of light input to the first receiving unit and the second receiving unit of the light input unit. The camera device further comprises a first lens and a second lens disposed between the light output unit and the object, wherein the first lens refracts the light output from the light output unit in a first direction, and the second lens refracts the light output from the light output unit in a second direction.

Camera device

The present invention relates to a camera module, and the present invention comprises: a lens unit; a lens barrel for fixing the lens unit; a substrate unit, which has an image sensor mounted thereon, for converting light incident through the lens unit into an electric signal; and a housing accommodating the substrate unit in an inner space thereof and of which one side is coupled to the lens barrel, and the present invention can comprise: a transmission coil accommodated inside the housing so as to form an electric field, and a conductive heating element arranged on an outer surface of the lens unit or on an outer circumferential surface of the lens barrel, and in which an induced current is generated by the electric field formed by the transmission coil. Since the present invention heats a lens by wirelessly supplying power to a heating element through simple configurations such as a transmission coil and the heating element, large changes are unnecessary in the volume and the structure of a camera module. In addition, since the heating element of the present invention does not restrict incident light, an image of a subject is not distorted and a clean image can be obtained, and thus the present invention is efficient. In addition, the present invention prevents signal interference with other electronic components or electrical components when power is wirelessly supplied to a heating element, and thus, camera malfunction can be prevented.

Disclosed is a dual-view display system. The dual-view display system includes a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight unit outputting a light to the liquid crystal display panel, and an optical device alternately guiding image lights output from the backlight unit in left and right directions of the liquid crystal display panel.
