Abstract
A method and apparatus for obtaining depth information are provided. The method includes calculating a relative depth value between a first color pixel and a second color pixel based on values of color pixels of a color image, and calculating a depth value of a second depth pixel that belongs to a depth image corresponding to the color image, matches the second color pixel, and does not have the depth value, based on the calculated relative depth value and a depth value of a first depth value that belongs to the depth image, matching the first color pixel, and has the depth value thereof.
