Abstract: A method of generating an image using an image capturing device includes generating an imperfect image excluding data corresponding to one or more pixel sensors by capturing an object while the object is focused. A defocused image is generated to include the data corresponding to the one or more pixel sensors generated using neighboring pixel sensors around the one or more pixel sensors while the object is defocused. The data corresponding to the one or more pixel sensors is extracted based on data in the generated imperfect image and data in the generated defocused image. A final image is then generated by reflecting the extracted data to at least one of the generated imperfect image or the generated defocused image.

Abstract: In some embodiments of the present disclosure, an image sensor includes a first pixel group and a second pixel group disposed in a substrate. The first pixel group includes a first plurality of first sub-groups configured to sense first light of a first color, and a plurality of second sub-groups configured to sense second light of a second color. The second pixel group is arranged adjacent to the first pixel group and includes a second plurality of first sub-groups configured to sense fourth light of the first color, and a plurality of third sub-groups configured to sense third light of a third color. Each of the first plurality of first sub-groups, the second plurality of first sub-groups, the plurality of second sub-groups, and the plurality of third sub-groups including pixels arranged in corresponding N rows and M columns, N and M being positive integers greater than one.

Abstract: An image apparatus may be configured to calculate a depth of an object relative to the image apparatus. The image apparatus may include an image sensor that may capture a plurality of images of the object. Depth calculation may include calculating a binocular disparity using the plurality of images, measuring a local temperature value from at least one temperature sensor, correcting a focal length of at least a portion of the image apparatus according to the measured local temperature value, and calculating a depth of the object using the binocular disparity and the corrected focal length. The corrected focal length may be determined based on a focal length variation value. The focal length variation value may be determined based on performing contrast autofocus on one or more captured images and the local temperature value.
