Abstract

An image sensing device includes: a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged at each cross point of rows and columns, wherein the pixel array comprises a plurality of pixel blocks, each including N pixels, N being a natural number equal to or greater than 2, wherein the pixel blocks sequentially output a plurality of pixel signals having pixel information on the same color N times during one or more single row times; a plurality of column lines suitable for sequentially transferring the plurality of pixel signals from the pixel blocks, each column line being shared by two adjacent columns and coupled to at least one of the pixel blocks; a plurality of averaging blocks suitable for grouping the pixel signals to overlap each other, into a plurality of pixel signal groups, and averaging the pixel signal groups to output a plurality of averaged pixel signals, wherein the number of the averaging blocks is smaller than the number of the column lines; and a plurality of conversion blocks suitable for converting the averaged pixel signals into a plurality of digital signals.
