20110273580 | METHOD OF PROCESSING IMAGE SIGNALS AND RELATED METHOD OF IMAGE CAPTURE - A method of processing image signals comprises determining whether each of multiple units of input pixel data received from an image sensor is bad pixel data generated by a bad pixel of the image sensor or normal pixel data generated by a normal pixel of the image sensor, and performing interpolation to generate image data corresponding to the bad pixel using only normal pixel data and omitting bad pixel data. | 11-10-2011 |
20130236104 | Apparatus and Method of Processing an Image - An image processing apparatus processes a center pixel by using a plurality of adjacent pixels included in an M×N region. The image processing apparatus includes a pixel value storage unit for storing first pixel values that correspond to first pixels included in one or more rows including a center row in which the center pixel is disposed, and second pixel values that correspond to second pixels disposed above the first pixels from among the plurality of adjacent pixels; and a pixel processing unit for processing the center pixel, based on the first and second pixel values, wherein the M and N are natural numbers that are equal to or greater than two. | 09-12-2013 |
20130335602 | METHOD OF PROCESSING IMAGE SIGNALS AND RELATED METHOD OF IMAGE CAPTURE - A method of processing image signals comprises determining whether each of multiple units of input pixel data received from an image sensor is bad pixel data generated by a bad pixel of the image sensor or normal pixel data generated by a normal pixel of the image sensor, and performing interpolation to generate image data corresponding to the bad pixel using only normal pixel data and omitting bad pixel data. | 12-19-2013 |
20140014818 | PIXEL ARRAY, IMAGE SENSOR INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF COMPENSATING FOR LOCAL DARK CURRENT - A pixel array for an image sensor is provided. The pixel array includes a dark pixel which is configured to detect a local dark current in an active pixel block. The dark pixel is distinguished from an optical black pixel block which is arranged around the active pixel block and is configured to detect a global dark current. The pixel array is configured to compensate for dark shading, which is not compensated through global dark current compensation, using the local dark current output from the dark pixel which is arranged within the active pixel block. | 01-16-2014 |
20140118579 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus includes a first pixel, a digitization unit, and a correction unit. The first pixel includes a first photoelectric conversion layer for outputting a first electrical signal in response to received incident light, including light of a first color, light of a second color, and light of a third color; and a second photoelectric conversion layer disposed under the first photoelectric conversion layer and for outputting a second electrical signal in response to light transmitted through the first photoelectric conversion layer. The digitization unit generates first original data by digitizing the first electrical signal and generates second original data by digitizing the second electrical signal. The correction unit generates first corrected data corresponding to the light of the first color and second corrected data corresponding to the light of the second color, by respectively correcting the first original data and the second original data. | 05-01-2014 |
20140132808 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERPOLATING COLOR - A method for interpolating a color includes interpolating, in a first pixel of a first color, a first pixel value based on pixel values of pixels adjacent to the first pixel, skipping an interpolation on a second pixel of a second color corresponding to the first pixel of the first color; and generating an image based on the interpolated first pixel value and an uninterpolated pixel value of the second pixel. | 05-15-2014 |
20140267845 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND SYSTEM COMPRISING SAME - An image processing device comprises a pixel array comprising multiple unit pixels each configured to generate multiple color signals in response to incident light, and a data processing unit configured to generate output image data by processing the color signals in parallel in a first operating mode, and further configured to generate two image signals for each unit pixel based on the color signals and to generate the output image data by processing the two image signals in parallel in a second operating mode. | 09-18-2014 |
20150301736 | DISPLAY MODULE INCLUDING PHYSICAL BUTTON AND IMAGE SENSOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A display module and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The display module includes a display panel, an image sensor layer stacked on the display panel, the image sensor layer responsive to a gesture, and a physical button layer stacked on the image sensor layer, the physical button layer to form a physical button. | 10-22-2015 |
