Abstract
An image device for generating panoramic depth images includes at least two image capturing groups. Each image capturing group of the at least two image capturing groups includes at least three image capturers. A size of each image capturer of the at least three image capturers is a first length, a distance between two adjacent capturing devices of the at least three image capturers is a second length, and a ratio of the second length to the first length is not less than a predetermined value. Depths of at least three depth maps corresponding to the at least two image capturing groups are applied to generating a panoramic depth image.
