    摘要: An image signal processor is provided. The image signal processor includes a white balancing block which performs white balancing on a raw RGB image of a Bayer pattern received from an image sensor on a kernel basis or in a kernel unit, a green generation block which performs cross-binning on white-balanced G pixel to generate a first green pixel, and adds a high-frequency component to which a preset weight is applied to generate a binned green pixel, a red-blue generation block which generates a U pixel and a V pixel indicating directionality, on the basis of the binned green pixel, a white-balanced R pixel, and a white-balanced B pixel, and merges the binned green pixel to each of the U pixel and the V pixel to generate a binned red pixel and a binned blue pixel and an inverse white balancing block which performs an inverse white balancing on the binned red pixel, the binned green pixel, and the binned blue pixel to output a final binning image.

    摘要: Image sensors include an array of image sensor pixels therein. This array of image sensor pixels includes a first focus detection pixel and at least a first color pixel. A switching network is provided, which is electrically coupled to the array. This switching network may be configured to generate a first mixed image signal by electronically mixing a focus detection signal generated by the first focus detection pixel with at least one color pixel signal generated by the at least a first color pixel. The first focus detection pixel can be a color-blind pixel, which may include a light-blocking shield mask therein.
