Abstract

An image processing system includes a movable lens that transfers an external light, an image sensor that includes a pixel array that generates an image signal based on the light and generates image data based on the image signal, and a processor that generates focus information for controlling a position of the movable lens and that generates a depth map based on calibration data and the image data. The calibration data include a value that depends on a position of the objective lens and a position of a pixel included in the pixel array.
