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.

RGB-IR sensor, and method and apparatus for obtaining 3D image by using same

An apparatus for obtaining a 3D image including a light transmitter configured to transmit infrared ray (IR) structured light to a recognized object; an RGB-IR sensor configured to receive infrared rays and visible light reflected from the recognized object; a processor configured to obtain 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 RGB-IR sensor. The processor is further configured to obtain infrared differential images by subtracting infrared images obtained for a visible light measurement time period Tfrom infrared images obtained for an infrared measurement time period T

Method and apparatus for obtaining 3D image

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.
