Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for generating a three dimensional image, wherein the method includes: illuminating a target; capturing an image that comprises an object present at the illuminated target; converting the captured image into data and processing it to determine depth of the object; and generating a three dimensional image of the object whose depth has been determined. Preferably, the illumination intensity applied while illuminating the target, is determined based on the current intensity of ambient light at the target.
