Abstract:
An image signal processor and an image sensor including the same are disclosed. An image sensor includes a pixel array configured to convert received optical signals into electrical signals, a readout circuit configured to convert the electrical signals into image data and output the image data, and an image signal processor configured to perform deep learning-based image processing on the image data based on training data selected from among first training data and second training data based on a noise level of the image data.
Abstract:
An image processing device includes a memory and a color correction circuit. The memory stores first correction information that used for correcting first pixel values among a plurality of pixel values. The plurality of pixel values are received from an auto-focus image sensor including first pixels configured to detect a phase difference and second pixels configured to detect an image. The first pixel values are obtained from the first pixels and correspond to a first color. The first correction information is used for correcting the first pixel values to correspond to a second color different from the first color. The color correction circuit receives first image frame data including the plurality of pixel values from the auto-focus image sensor, loads the first correction information from the memory, and generates first corrected image frame data by correcting the first pixel values included in the first image frame data to correspond to the second color based on the first correction information.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic device which includes a processing block, a crosstalk compensation block, and a dark level compensation block. The processing block receives image data from an active pixel region of an image sensor and performs pre-processing on the image data. The crosstalk compensation block performs crosstalk compensation on the pre-processed image data. The dark level compensation block performs the crosstalk compensation on dark level data received from an optical black region of the image sensor and performs a subtraction operation on the crosstalk-compensated image data and the crosstalk-compensated dark level data.
