Abstract

An image sensing device includes an optical emitter outputting a modulated signal to a target object; an optical receiver generating, according to a phase control signal, pixel signals corresponding to a reflected signal from the target object; an image processor calculating a depth phase based on the pixel signals and compensating for the depth phase according to a phase offset signal to output a depth information signal; a driving control circuit generating the phase control signal corresponding to a phase of the modulated signal and setting an initial phase difference between the modulated signal and the phase control signal according to the phase offset signal; and an offset calculating circuit setting a plurality of reference phases, selecting a reference phase closest to the depth phase among the set reference phases and generating the phase offset signal representing a phase difference between the selected reference phase and the depth phase.
