An electronic device includes a processor, and an image sensor module, wherein the image sensor module may include an image sensor, and a control circuit electrically connected to the image sensor and connected to the processor through an interface, and wherein the control circuit may obtain raw image data through the image sensor, sense at least one pixel data included in the raw image data and at least one error data based on a difference between pixel values of the at least one pixel data and each of at least one other pixel data adjacent to the at least one pixel data, generate attribute information corresponding to the at least one error data, correct the at least one error data based on a specified scheme, compress the raw image data in which the at least one error data are corrected, and transmit the compressed raw image data and the attribute information to the processor.

Device for correcting and compressing image error data, and method related thereto

According to various embodiments of the disclosure, disclosed is an electronic device including a processor and an image sensor module. The image sensor module includes an image sensor in which sensor pixels are arranged and a control circuit electrically connected to the image sensor and connected to the processor. The control circuit is configured to obtain raw image data including pieces of image pixel data, in which first pixel data corresponding to a first attribute and second pixel data corresponding to a second attribute are arranged in a first array, to identify rearrangement information predetermined based on the first attribute and the second attribute, to change the array of the pieces of image pixel data into a second array based on the rearrangement information such that at least part of the first pixel data is arranged adjacent and at least part of the second pixel data is arranged adjacent, to generate compression data obtained by compressing the pieces of image pixel data whose array is changed into the second array, and to transmit the compression data to the processor. The processor is configured to restore the raw image data. Other various embodiments as understood from the specification are also possible.

Electronic device and method capable of compressing image on basis of attributes of image data

Embodiments disclosed in the present document relate to a method and an apparatus for synthesizing images. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: an image sensor; an image processing processor; and a control circuit which is electrically connected to the image sensor through a first designated interface and to the image processing processor through a second designated interface. The control circuit may be configured to: when the read out speed of the image sensor is set to a first designated speed, receive, through the first designated interface, first image data that has been obtained by using the image sensor and has not been compressed by the image sensor; transfer the first image data to the image processing processor through the second designated interface; when the read out speed of the image sensor is set to a second designated speed, receive, through the first designated interface, second image data being obtained by using the image sensor and being compressed by the image sensor; decompress the compressed second image data by means of the control circuit; and transfer the decompressed second image data to the image processing processor through the second designated interface.
