Abstract
An image sensor is provided. The image sensor includes: pixel groups; a readout circuit configured to output full pixel values respectively corresponding to the pixel groups and sub pixel values respectively corresponding to the pixel groups, wherein a full pixel value is generated based on pixel signals of all pixels in a first pixel group, and a sub pixel value is generated based on some of the pixel signals in the first pixel group; and an image signal processor configured to: generate, based on the full pixel value indicating the first pixel group is a saturation pixel group, a color ratio of the saturation pixel group by using a target sub pixel value corresponding to the saturation pixel group; and compensate for the full pixel value of the saturation pixel group based on the color ratio of the saturation pixel group.
