Abstract:
A camera device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises: a light output unit which outputs an output-light signal irradiated on an object; a lens unit which comprises an infrared (IR) filter and at least one lens arranged on the IR filter, and condenses an input-light signal reflected from the object; an image sensor which generates an electrical signal from the input-light signal condensed by the lens unit; a tilting unit which shifts the optical path of the input-light signal according to a predetermined rule; and an image control unit which acquires depth information of the object by using a phase difference between the output-light signal and the input-light signal received at the image sensor, wherein the image control unit acquires the depth information of the object by using data extracted during a plurality of periods during which the optical path of the input-light signal is repeatedly shifted according to the predetermined rule, and the image control unit corrects the difference between a preconfigured shift value of the optical path of the input-light signal, and the actual shift value.
