Abstract
An image sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixels, a readout circuit configured to generate a digital signal from the pixel signal received from the pixel array, and a signal processor configured to determine whether to perform a binning on a first pixel group and a second pixel group among the plurality of pixels based on at least one of a first value of the digital signal corresponding to the first pixel group and a second value corresponding to the second pixel group adjacent to the first pixel group, and generate image data based on a first operation with the first value and the second value are used as operands when the binning being determined to be performed.
