Abstract
An image device utilizing non-planar projection images to generate a depth map includes two image capturers and a depth engine. The two image capturers are used for generating two non-planar projection images, wherein when each non-planar projection image of the two non-planar projection images is projected to a space corresponding to an image capturer corresponding to the each non-planar projection image, projection positions of each row of pixels of the each non-planar projection image in the space and optical centers of the two image capturers share a plane. The depth engine is used for generating a depth map according to the two non-planar projection images.
