Abstract

The present invention relates to a night image output apparatus, comprising: a photographing unit comprising an optical pulse output unit for outputting optical pulses and an image sensor for forming a plurality of images using optical pulses reflected by an external object; a display unit for outputting a final image made by synthesizing the plurality of images; and a control unit for calculating object distance information displayed in each pixel of the final image, by using data of a light quantity ratio of the plurality of images to each pixel of the final image and a light quantity ratio related to distance.
