Abstract
A camera apparatus includes a two-dimensional (2D) light source to generate first light for 2D imaging and to irradiate the first light to an object; a three-dimensional (3D) light source to generate second light for 3D imaging and to irradiate the object; a camera sensor to perform a time division mode operation which is time-divided into a first time and a second time, to image the object on which the first light is irradiated to generate a first image signal at the first time, to image the object on which the second light is irradiated to generate a second image signal at the second time; and a controller to control synchronization of the 2D light source and the camera sensor and to control synchronization of the 3D light source and the camera sensor during the time division mode operation.
