    Abstract: Provided are an image processing device and an operating method of the same. The image processing device includes a memory storing one or more instructions, and at least one processor processing circuitry, and memory storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the image processing device to obtain a neural network model corresponding to a quality of an input image and viewing information related to the input image. The at least one processor is configured to generate training data, based on the quality of the input image and the viewing information. The at least one processor is configured to train the neural network model by using the training data. The at least one processor is configured to obtain an image quality processed output image from the input image, based on the trained neural network model.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate and first and second shared pixels, which extend adjacent to each other in a first direction across the substrate. Each of the shared pixels includes: a plurality of floating diffusion regions at spaced apart locations within the substrate, and a plurality of spaced-apart source follower gates electrically connected to the plurality of floating diffusion regions. A deep trench isolation structure is provided, which extends within the substrate and at least partially partitions the first and second shared pixels from each other. A contact barrier structure is provided, which extends on the substrate, vertically overlaps the deep trench isolation structure, at least partially partitions the first and second shared pixels from each other, and is arranged with a long axis in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and between the source follower gate of the first shared pixel and the source follower gate of the second shared pixel.

    Abstract: An image sensor and a method of manufacturing thereof are provided. The image sensor includes a substrate, a grid structure, and color filters. The substrate includes a pixel separation structure defining pixel regions, and a sub-pixel regions for each pixel region. The grid structure is disposed on the substrate and includes first fence segments provided between the sub-pixel regions, and second fence segments provided between neighboring pixel regions. The grid structure defines openings corresponding respectively to the sub-pixel regions. The color filters are disposed in the openings defined by the grid structure. Each of the color filters has a flat top surface and the flat top surface of each color filter is parallel to a bottom surface thereof.
