An image processing apparatus and method are provided. In the method, an image sensor including first pixels for detecting an image and second pixels for detecting a different type of signals, reads out values from at least one of the second pixels and at least one the first pixels, based on a predetermined rule, outputs a first sampling image, based on the read out pixels, restores values of the at least one of the second pixels to be image pixel values for locations of the at least one of the second pixels included in the first sampling image, outputs a restored image based on the restored values, performs binning on pixels of the restored image using a predetermined method; and outputs a reduced resolution image with a resolution reduced at a predetermined rate from the restored image, based on the binning.
