Abstract
This application discloses a time of flight (TOF) apparatus and an electronic device comprising the TOF apparatus. The TOF apparatus includes a transmitter and a receiver, and both the transmitter and the receiver are divided into a plurality of regions. The TOF apparatus can capture a plurality of local 3D images corresponding to different regions of a target object in a manner in which the transmitter performs region-based turning-on and the receiver performs region-based detection, and then the electronic device splices the plurality of local 3D images, to obtain a 3D image of the target object.
