Abstract
An image signal processor includes a gradation detection module configured to receive a pixel signal from an external device and a correction module configured to receive the pixel signal. The correction module is connected to the gradation detection module. The gradation detection module is configured to estimate a gradient of the pixel signal, correct the pixel signal based on the gradient to generate a corrected pixel signal, calculate a first variance value based on the pixel signal, calculate a second variance value based on the corrected pixel signal, calculate a gradation probability value based on a comparison result between the first variance value and the second variance value, and generate a gradation map as information about the gradation probability value of the pixel signal. The correction module is configured to correct the pixel signal based on the gradation map.
