  • Patent number: 10469742
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method for converting a frame rate are provided. According to the present disclosure, an electronic device includes a memory, a first black-and-white image sensor, a second image sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to set different values as a first setting value for the first black-and-white image sensor and a second setting value for the second image sensor, if an illuminance value indicating an illuminance at an arbitrary time point does not satisfy a predetermined illuminance value, to acquire a black-and-white image of an object based on the first setting value using the first black-and-white image sensor, to acquire at least one color image of the object based on the second setting value using the second image sensor, to generate a color image by synthesizing the black-and-white image with a color determined based on at least part of color information of the at least one color image, and to store the generated color image as video data in the memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8149305
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to detect a dead pixel in an image sensor having a pixel array to generate a plurality of image frames, and a method and apparatus to capture an image from the image sensor detect a dead pixel in the image sensor. A change of a scene of the image frames is sensed, and a detection operation to detect a dead pixel in the pixel array is performed if the change of the scene is sensed.
