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 15):
A device for producing depth information, the device comprising:\n a monochromatic stereo camera module configured to capture at least one monochromatic stereo image from an object; a color camera module configured to capture a color image from the object; a data storage unit configured to store the images captured by the monochromatic stereo camera and the color camera module; and a data processor configured to process the images stored in the data storage unit, wherein the monochromatic stereo camera module includes a first image sensor, a plurality of first lens modules spaced apart from each other on the first image sensor, and monochromatic filters disposed to allow light paths formed by the first image sensor and each of at least two of the plurality of first lens modules to pass therethrough, and wherein the color camera module includes a second image sensor, a second lens module disposed on the second image sensor, and a color filter disposed to allow a light path formed by the second lens module and the second image sensor to pass therethrough, wherein the data processor is configured to calculate a depth of a region of interest by performing a complementing process to a resolution of at least one of at least two monochromatic images forming the monochromatic stereo image using the color image and performing stereo matching, wherein the color image is configured to be a complementary image to the monochromatic image by including a blurred region different from a blurred region of at least one of the at least two monochromatic images or including more pixels per unit area than the monochromatic images.
