Camera Module and Mobile Terminal Having the Same

Disclosed is a camera module. The camera module can include a camera sensor, an RGB-YCbCr conversion module, a biometric image processing filter, a noise elimination/reduction module, and a frame image data conversion module. The camera sensor can be capable of capturing biometric information of a user to generate an RGB image signal. The RGB-YCbCr conversion module can convert the RGB image signal captured by the camera sensor into a YCbCr image signal. The biometric image processing filter can perform filtering to increase a Y (brightness) component from the YCbCr image signal. The noise elimination/reduction module can reduce or eliminate noise components from the YCbCr image signal filtered by the biometric image processing filter. The frame image data conversion module can convert the YCbCr image signal from which the noise components are eliminated or reduced into frame image data.
