An image signal processor includes a register and a disparity correction unit. The register stores disparity data obtained from a pattern image data that an image senor generates, and the image sensor includes a plurality of pixels, and each of the pixel includes at least a first photoelectric conversion element and a second photoelectric conversion element. The image sensor generates the pattern image data in response to a pattern image located at a first distance from the image sensor. The disparity correction unit corrects a disparity distortion of an image data based on the disparity data to generate a result image data, and the image senor generates the image data by capturing an object.

An image processing apparatus includes a pre-processor configured to generate information relating to image positions based on Bayer image signals obtained by cameras. The image processing apparatus further includes an independent image signal processor (IISP) configured to perform a first image signal processing operation for generating first image data of an RGB format from a first one of the Bayer image signals obtained by a first one of the cameras. The IISP is further configured to generate image processing information calculated during the first image signal processing operation. The image processing apparatus further includes a dependent image signal processor configured to perform a second image signal processing operation for generating second image data of the RGB format from a second one of the Bayer image signals obtained by a second one of the cameras using the image processing information and the information relating to the image positions.

Image processing apparatus and image processing system

An image processing apparatus includes a region determiner configured to receive image data and perform a region determination by determining whether each of a plurality of sub-pixels included in the image data is included in an in-focusing region that is focused or an out-focusing region that is not focused; and an interpolator configured to perform demosaicing with respect to a sub-pixel included in the in-focusing region by using a first algorithm and perform the demosaicing with respect to a sub-pixel included in the out-focusing region by using a second algorithm, according to a result of the region determination, wherein, when the demosaicing with respect to the sub-pixel included in the in-focusing region is performed, one or more peripheral sub-pixels having phases that are different from a phase of the sub-pixel, on which the demosaicing is performed, are used.
