Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a method for producing depth information comprises obtaining a plurality of images of an object from a plurality of lens modules, the plurality of images including at least two monochromatic images forming a monochromatic stereo image, producing two complemented monochromatic images by performing a complementary image enhancing process on at least part of the two monochromatic images, the complementary image enhancing process including comparing the plurality of images with each of the two monochromatic images and increasing a resolution of each of the two monochromatic images using an image having a higher resolution in the at least part, selecting a region of interest of the object from the two complemented monochromatic images, and calculating a depth of the region of interest by stereo-matching the two complemented monochromatic images

Claim (Index 13):
A device configured to produce depth information, the device comprising:\n a monochromatic stereo camera module configured to capture at least one monochromatic stereo image from an object; a data storage unit configured to store the monochromatic stereo image captured by the monochromatic stereo camera module; and a data processor configured to process the monochromatic stereo image stored in the data storage unit, wherein the monochromatic stereo camera module includes an image sensor, a plurality of lens modules spaced apart from each other on the image sensor, and monochromatic filters disposed to allow light paths formed by each of the plurality of lens modules and the image sensor to pass therethrough, wherein at least two of the plurality of lens modules have different depths of field (DOFs), wherein the data processor is configured to calculate a depth of a region of interest by comparing at least two monochromatic images forming the monochromatic stereo image, performing a complementing process to raise a resolution of one monochromatic image containing a blurred region among the at least two monochromatic images using another among the at least two monochromatic images, and performing stereo matching, wherein the plurality of lens modules include four lens modules, wherein the monochromatic filters include a first monochromatic filter and a second monochromatic filter having a different color from the first monochromatic filter, wherein the first monochromatic filter is disposed to allow light paths formed by the image sensor and each of two of the four lens modules to pass therethrough, and the second monochromatic filter is disposed to allow light paths formed by the image sensor and each of the rest of the four lens modules to pass therethrough.
