Claim 19:
20. The system of claim 14, further comprising at least one second pixel in a second row of pixels capable of generating 2D-color information of the object based the first light reflected from the object and capable of generating 3D-depth information of the object based on the second light reflecting from the object, the second row being different from the first row,
wherein a first group of rows of pixels comprise a second predetermined number of rows, a second group of rows of pixels comprise a third predetermined number of rows, the second predetermined number being equal to or less than the first predetermined number, the third pre-determined number being equal to or less than the second predetermined number,
wherein the first row of pixels is in the first group of rows of pixels and the second row of pixels is in the second group of rows of pixels, and
wherein the controller sequentially selects, in an alternating manner, the first row from the first group of rows to output the 2D-color information and the 3D-depth information generated by the at least one first pixel of the first row and the second row from the second group of rows to output the 2D-color information and the 3D-depth information generated by the at least one second pixel.
