Abstract

An optical device includes: a first light emitting device that emits a plurality of line pattern lights spaced apart from each other to a target area; at least one sensor device that detects a received light, which is the emitted line pattern light, that is reflected from the target area; and a controller that calculates a parallax distance from a pattern of the detected received light, and acquires depth information of the target area by using the calculated parallax distance, wherein the first light emitting device includes: at least one light emitting unit including at least one light emitting element and emitting light of a specific wavelength; and a first optical member that generates light emitted from the at least one light emitting unit into at least one line pattern light.
