Abstract:
An imaging apparatus and an image sensor, where the imaging apparatus includes a lens unit and an image sensor including a plurality of image detection pixels for detecting an image formed by the lens unit and a plurality of focus detection pixels for detecting a focus of the image, wherein the plurality of focus detection pixels are arranged in a non-uniform pattern in which arrangements within shared intervals between the plurality of focus detection pixels are not equal to each other. Accordingly, the focus of an image formed on the image sensor can be accurately measured while a loss of image quality of the image formed on the image sensor is minimized.
Abstract:
A photographing apparatus for automatically detecting a focus via a phase difference detection scheme, the photographing apparatus including an image sensor comprising a plurality of phase difference pixels and configured to acquire an image of a subject; an addition processor configured to add output signals of the plurality of phase difference pixels; a controller configured to detect the focus of the image based on output signals of the plurality of phase difference pixels, and to set an addition range of the plurality of phase difference pixels added by the addition processor based on information of the detected focus and information of the acquired image of the subject.
Abstract:
A digital photographing apparatus includes: an image sensor including a first pixel group and a second pixel group each pixel group including a plurality of pixels for generating an imaging signal by photoelectrically converting incident light, the image sensor being configured to acquire the imaging signal two or more times in the second pixel group and to acquire the imaging signal once in the first pixel group; and a processor configured to acquire an image in which a motion of a subject appears based on the imaging signal acquired by the image sensor, and to generate a motion-corrected image based on the imaging signal acquired in the second pixel group.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes: a first camera module and a second camera module having different optical characteristics and configured to capture a same subject; and a controller configured to set a region including the subject as a first region of interest (ROI) in a first image captured by the first camera module and to detect a second ROI matching the first ROI in a second image captured by the second camera module, based on a difference in optical characteristics of the first camera module and optical characteristics of the second camera module.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus is provided, which includes an image sensor which includes a plurality of image pixels and a plurality of sensing pixels, and is configured to capture images through collection of light that is incident through a lens and the plurality of phase sensing pixels; and a processor configured to divide a region of interest of the image sensor into a plurality of sub-regions of interest, calculate disparity information of objects that correspond to the plurality of sub-regions of interest using at least one of the plurality of phase sensing pixels included in the plurality of sub-regions of interest, and determine a focal region in the region of interest on the basis of the disparity information. Accordingly, user convenience is increased.
