This invention is about a single-lens instantaneous three-dimensional image taking apparatus that is used for taking digital image. In addition, the digital image taking apparatus includes a lens installed inside the digital image taking apparatus and arranged in a straight line, an aperture plate and a single sensor, wherein the aperture plate is defined with three apertures having different angular coordinates and deviated from the optical axis. The three apertures are provided with red, blue, and green color filters, respectively, for allowing the object light to pass through the lens, and the image of object is projected onto the sensor, so as to obtain the object image and the color information in three different angles. After that, color separation and image correlation techniques are used to obtain the precise three-dimensional measurement of the object and color information.
