Abstract
An image sensor includes a pixel array including pixels and a controller configured to control the pixels to produce a plurality of images. The image sensor also includes a defect detector configured to determine a target image based on an average green pixel value and a gain value related to a light exposure time among the images, and detect an adaptive static defective pixel, which is a defective pixel with a fixed location based on pixel values included in the target image.
