Abstract
An image generating method and apparatus are provided. The image generating method irradiates a light with a predetermined wavelength to a target object at a predetermined interval, passes a light having a wavelength required to generate a color image from among lights reflected from the target object, detects color values according to the passed light, generates a depth image of the target object using color values detected during a period in which the light with the predetermined wavelength is irradiated, and generates the color image of the target object using color values detected during a period other than the period in which the light with the predetermined wavelength is irradiated. Accordingly, the image generating method can generate a depth image having high resolution while maintaining the resolution of the color image.
