Abstract: An image sensor having improved image quality is provided. The image sensor includes a first array of pixels, a second array of pixels, and a binning module. The first array of pixels has a color pattern formed in an n×m array and includes at least first-color pixels, second-color pixels, and third color-pixels. The second array of pixels is adjacent to the first array of pixels and has the same color pattern formed in an n×m array as the first array of pixels, to include at least first-color pixels, second-color pixels, and third color-pixels. The binning module is configured to, for a sensed image: perform binning on the first-color pixels of the first array, the first-color pixels of the second array, the second-color pixels of the first array, and the third-color pixels of the second array, and not perform binning on the third-color pixels of the first array, and not perform binning on the second-color pixels of the second array

Abstract: An image signal processor includes a register and a disparity correction unit. The register stores disparity data obtained from a pattern image data that an image senor generates, and the image sensor includes a plurality of pixels, and each of the pixel includes at least a first photoelectric conversion element and a second photoelectric conversion element. The image sensor generates the pattern image data in response to a pattern image located at a first distance from the image sensor. The disparity correction unit corrects a disparity distortion of an image data based on the disparity data to generate a result image data, and the image senor generates the image data by capturing an object.

Abstract: An image processing device and an image processing method are provided. The image processing device includes an image sensor configured to sense and output a raw image and an image signal processor configured to compare pixel values of the raw image with a reference level to classify a saturation color image and a non-saturation color image, calculate a first fixed pattern noise from the saturation color image, calculate a second fixed pattern noise from the non-saturation color image, generate a final fixed pattern noise by combining the first fixed pattern noise with the second fixed pattern noise, and output a revised image by subtracting the final fixed pattern noise from the raw image.
