  • Patent number: 11956411
    Abstract: An image signal processor includes a register and a disparity correction unit. The register stores disparity data obtained from a pattern image data that an image senor generates, and the image sensor includes a plurality of pixels, and each of the pixel includes at least a first photoelectric conversion element and a second photoelectric conversion element. The image sensor generates the pattern image data in response to a pattern image located at a first distance from the image sensor. The disparity correction unit corrects a disparity distortion of an image data based on the disparity data to generate a result image data, and the image senor generates the image data by capturing an object.

  • Patent number: 11656675
    Abstract: A method of operating an application processor including a central processing unit (CPU) with at least one core and a memory interface includes measuring, during a first period, a core active cycle of a period in which the at least one core performs an operation to execute instructions and a core idle cycle of a period in which the at least one core is in an idle state, generating information about a memory access stall cycle of a period in which the at least one core accesses the memory interface in the core active cycle, correcting the core active cycle using the information about the memory access stall cycle to calculate a load on the at least one core using the corrected core active cycle, and performing a DVFS operation on the at least one core using the calculated load on the at least one core.
