1. An image generating device comprising:
a passive sensor;
an active sensor;
a mask forming unit;
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
obtain a first depth map with respect to a first space by using the passive sensor,
identify an unidentified region of the first depth map,
obtain a second depth map with respect to the unidentified region by using the active sensor and the mask forming unit configured to form a mask based on the unidentified region, and
obtain a third depth map with respect to the first space based on the first depth map and the second depth map.
