1. A pixel array for an imaging unit, the pixel array comprising:
two or more rows of pixels that extend in a first direction; and
at least one pixel in a row that is capable of generating two-dimensional (2D) color information of an object in a field of view of the pixel array based on a first light reflected from the object and capable of generating three-dimensional (3D) depth information of the object based on a line of light reflecting from the object, the line of light being oriented in a second direction across a field of view of the pixel array and being scanned across the field of view of the pixel array in the first direction, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
