Abstract
An image capture device, a depth generating device and a method thereof are disclosed. The present disclosure is characterized in that a depth calculation technology with a structure light projection and a pictorial depth calculation technology are combined to better both of resolution and accuracy of the calculated image depth. In addition, the utilization of a modified flashlight enables the combination of the two technologies to be applied to a hand-held capture device.
