Dual sensor imaging system and depth map calculation method thereof

Abstract

A dual sensor imaging system and a depth map calculation method thereof are provided. The dual sensor imaging system includes at least one color sensor, at least one infrared ray (IR) sensor, a storage device, and a processor. The processor is configured to load and execute a computer program stored in the storage device to: control the color sensor and the IR sensor to respectively capture multiple color images and multiple IR images by adopting multiple exposure conditions suitable for an imaging scene, adaptively select a combination of the color image and the IR image that are comparable to each other from the color images and the IR images; and calculate a depth map of the imaging scene by using the selected color image and IR image.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
