Abstract
An image sensing device includes an image sensor including at least one pixel including a plurality of color channels and an image processor for processing an input image, based on brightness intensity values of the plurality of color channels. The image processor includes: a transmission map generator for generating color channel transmission maps including transmission values that are obtained by respectively converting brightness intensity values of the plurality of color channels, and generating a target transmission map including target transmission values that are obtained by multiplying transmission values among the transmission values that correspond to color channels; a white pixel detector for determining target pixels that are included in a white area, based on the target transmission map; and a white balance adjuster for adjusting white balance, based on average brightness intensity values of respective color channels.
