    摘要: An image sensor includes a pixel array including at least one active pixel and at least one line-optical black (L-OB) pixel arranged in a matrix including first to nth rows and first to mth columns, the pixel array configured to output a pixel signal and a dark-level offset signal in units of columns during a read-out operation in one of the first to nth rows; a row driver configured to output a selection control signal to the first to nth rows; and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) block configured to digitize the pixel signal and the dark-level offset signal. In the pixel array, a dark-level offset signal is simultaneously output from an L-OB pixel in another row during the read-out operation in one of the first to nth rows. Here, ‘n’ and ‘m’ each denote an integer that is equal to or greater than ‘2’.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a pixel array that outputs a raw image including color pixels and specific pixels, a logic circuit that outputs a first binned image by performing first binning on pixels in a row direction for each unit kernel of the raw image, and a processor that outputs a second binned image by performing second binning on the first binned image. When a unit kernel includes at least one of the specific pixels, a column to which the at least one specific pixel belongs is read out at a readout timing different from a readout timing of a column to which none of the specific pixels belong and undergoes the first binning. The second binning combines a third binned image of the column to which none of the specific pixels belong with a fourth binned image of the column to which the at least one specific pixel belongs.
