An image sensor according to an example embodiment concepts includes a pixel array including pixels, and each of the pixels includes photoelectric conversion elements. The photoelectric conversion elements independently operating to detect a phase difference. The image sensor further includes a control circuit configured to independently control exposure times of each of the photoelectric conversion elements included in each of the pixels.

Image sensor including a pixel having photoelectric conversion elements and image processing device having the image sensor

An autofocus method includes receiving a left image having a first blurriness value and a right image having a second blurriness value, filtering the left image so that the first blurriness value becomes the same as the second blurriness value, and generating a control signal for controlling the lens module based on a difference between a third blurriness value of a filtered left image and the second blurriness value.

Method of operating image signal processor and method of operating imaging system including the same

An image signal processor includes a memory configured to store a table, the table including a plurality of point spread functions (PSFs), a PSF selection circuit configured to output at least one of the plurality of PSFs stored in the table based on selection information, a disparity extractor configured to extract a disparity value from image data corresponding to pixel signals output from at least one pixel of a plurality of pixels included in an image sensor, and a processing circuit configured to generate pixel location information for the at least one pixel. Each of the pixels of the plurality of pixels includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements. The selection information includes the disparity value and the pixel location information.
