The present invention discloses a structured light encoding-based vertical depth perception apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a laser pattern projector, an infrared receiving camera, a RGB receiving camera, and a depth perception module; the laser pattern projector, the RGB receiving camera, and the infrared receiving camera are disposed along a straight line vertical to a horizontal plane; the laser pattern projector is for projecting a laser encoded pattern; the infrared receiving camera is for consecutively acquiring the encoded patterns and generating an input encoded image sequence; the RGB receiving camera is for acquiring RGB video stream; and the depth perception module is for generating a depth map sequence. The apparatus according to the present invention may not only generate high-resolution and high-precision depth information in real-time, and but also solve the cavity issue existing at the horizontal direction edge of the to-be-measured object when a horizontal depth perception device performs a depth measurement; besides, it facilitates uniform extraction of the depth map sequence and the to-be-measured object in the RGB video stream.
