Abstract
An image sensor may include a pixel array having an N×M array of merged pixels arranged in a Bayer pattern, each merged pixel including an k*l matrix of unit pixels of a same color, where k and l are integers greater than two; and an image signal processor to process signals output by the pixel array in accordance with a normal mode or a zoom-in mode. In the zoom-in mode, signals from the pixel array may be remosaiced such that signals corresponding to the unit pixels are arranged in a p*q matrix of unit pixels of a same color, wherein p is a non-negative integer that is less than k and q is a non-negative integer less than 1, the p*q matrixes being arranged in a Bayer pattern.
