IMAGE SENSOR AND OPERATING METHOD

An image sensor includes: a pixel array including a plurality of sensing pixels each configured to convert a received light signal into an electrical signal; a readout circuit configured to convert the electrical signals into image data and output the image data; and a bad pixel correction circuit configured to: input, to a neural network, first input data comprising a first cluster bad pixel of the image data in a first direction to generate a first corrected pixel data, and flip second input data comprising a second cluster bad pixel of the image data in a second direction to generate third input data, and input, to the neural network, the third input data to generate a second corrected pixel data.
