Abstract
An image depth decoder includes an NIR image buffer, a reference image ring buffer and a pattern matching engine. The NIR image buffer stores an NIR image inputted by a stream. The reference image ring buffer stores a reference image inputted by a stream. The pattern matching engine is coupled to the NIR image buffer and the reference image ring buffer, and performs a depth computation according to the NIR image and the reference image to output at least one depth value.
