Abstract

A device for acquiring depth image, a calibrating method and a measuring method therefore are provided. The device includes at least one projecting device, at least one image sensing device, a mechanism device and a processing unit. The projecting device projects a projection pattern to a measured object. The image sensing device is controlled to adjust a focal length and focus position, and therefore sense real images. The mechanism device adjusts a location and/or a convergence angle of the image sensing device. The processing unit calibrates the at least one image sensing device and generates a three dimension (3D) measuring parameter set at a model focal length according to a plurality of image setting parameter reference sets corresponding to a model focal length and a plurality of default node distances, respectively, and then estimates a depth map or depth information of the measured object.
