1. A camera for generating a textured range image, comprising:
- a single lens;
a flash substantially co-located with the lens;
means for acquiring a first image of a scene from a point of view with ambient light using the single lens;
means for acquiring a second image of the scene from the point of view with direct light of the flash using the single lens; and
means for dividing a luminance of each pixel of the first image by a luminance of a corresponding pixel in the second image to generate the textured range image.

Abstract
A camera generates a textured range image. The camera includes a single lens, and a flash substantially co-located with the lens. The camera acquires a first image of a scene from a point of view with ambient light, and a second image of the scene from the point of view with direct light of the flash. The first image and the seconds image are then combined by a divider to generate the textured range image.
