Camera device

Abstract

A camera device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first transmission/reception device including a first light-emitting unit for outputting a first output light signal, and a first light-receiving unit for receiving a first input light signal obtained through the reflection of the first output light signal from an object; a second transmission/reception unit including a second light-emitting unit for outputting a second output light signal, and a second light-receiving unit for receiving a second input light signal obtained through the reflection of the second output light signal from the object; a depth information generation unit for generating depth information about the object by using the first input light signal received in the first light-receiving unit and the second input light signal received in the second light-receiving unit; and a control unit for controlling the first transmission/reception device, the second transmission/reception device and the depth information generation unit, wherein: the first input light signal is an input light signal for a first area of the object, and the second input light signal is an input light signal for a second area of the object; the depth information includes first depth information about an overlapping area of the object in which the first area and the second area overlap, and second depth information about a non-overlapping area of the object in which the first area and the second area do not overlap; and the resolution of the first depth information is higher than the resolution of the second depth information.
