Abstract

There is provided an image sensor including a pixel array including a plurality of pixels, a readout circuit that outputs first pixel data and second pixel data based on an output signal of the pixel array, and an image signal processor that generates third pixel data by restoring at least a portion of saturated pixel data of the first pixel data based on the second pixel data, and outputs the HDR image data based on the second pixel data and the third pixel data. At least a portion of the first pixel data may have a higher intensity value than the second pixel data.
