  • Patent number: 11032477
    Abstract: An image sensor includes: an image obtainer configured to generate image information by converting received light into an electrical signal; a first detector configured to detect first time information regarding a first time at which the image obtainer acquires the image information; a second detector configured to receive a plurality of pieces of movement information indicating movements of the image obtainer, and detecting second time information regarding a second time at which at least one piece of movement information among the plurality of pieces of movement information is received. A single port is configured to output the image information, the first time information, output movement information selected from among the plurality of pieces of movement information, and the second time information regarding the selected output movement information.

  • Patent number: 11032476
    Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array that includes a plurality of pixels, a first interface directly connected to an external gyro sensor and that receives gyro data output by the gyro sensor in response to motion, and a control logic that generates image data by exposing the plurality of pixels for a predetermined exposure period, generates valid data that correspond to the exposure period using the gyro data, and generates, based on the valid data, compensation information that represents a movement path of the motion.
