Abstract
A depth map generation apparatus includes: a sensor array including a plurality of sensors configured to detect a received light arrival time; a control circuit array; and a processor configured to divide an acquisition time of at least one of the plurality of sensors into a first time window and a second time window; based on a detection result of the at least one sensor in the first time window and the second time window, generate first sub-frame information; based on the first sub-frame information, determine in which one of the first time window and the second time window an object is detected; generate second sub-frame information from the one of the first time window and the second time window in which the object is detected; and provide the first sub-frame information and the second sub-frame information for generation of an image frame.
