ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional image capturing device is provided with a CCD which captures an image of a subject as image data and obtains the distance from the device to a point on a surface of the subject corresponding to each of the image data as distance measurement data. The device obtains the distance to the subject by emitting a light beam to the subject and performing a light emitting operation and electronic shuttering operation of the CCD in tandem. In the operations, each photo-diode in the CCD detects the electric charge signal corresponding to the distance to the subject. The distance measurement data is calculated from the electric charge signal detected by each photo-diode of the CCD. The image data and the distance measurement data are stored in a file or files created in a recording medium so as to maintain correspondence between the image data and the distance measurement data.
