Abstract: Disclosed is a camera module which includes an image sensor including pixels outputting raw image data based on light incident from at least one of a display or the exterior, and control logic receiving the raw image data and generating image data. In a first operation mode, the control logic turns off calibration of the image sensor, receives first raw image data, which are based on the light incident from the display, from the image sensor, and generates crosstalk calibration data based on first output values included in the first raw image data. In a second operation mode, the control logic turns on the calibration of the image sensor, receives second raw image data, which are based on light incident from the display and the exterior, from the image sensor, and generates the image data based on second output values included in the second raw image data.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a frequency analyzing circuit and a color difference calculating circuit. The frequency analyzing circuit receives an image signal including information about a subject, may convert the image signal into first color data which are based on a first color domain, converts the first color data into frequency data which are based on a frequency domain, and applies frequency weights corresponding to the frequency data to the first color data to generate processed color data. The color difference calculating circuit calculates color difference values for evaluating a color stain generated by the image signal, based on the processed color data. The frequency weights are selected based on sensitivity information of an observer according to a frequency change of the frequency data.
