Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for acquiring images including an image sensor including a sensor substrate including a plurality of photo-sensing cells sensing light, and a color separation lens array provided above the sensor substrate, the color separation lens array including a fine structure in each of a plurality of regions respectively facing the plurality of photo-sensing cells and separating incident light based on color, the fine structure forming a phase distribution to condense light having different wavelengths on adjacent photo-sensing cells, a signal processor configured to perform, based on a point spread function corresponding to each color pixel by the color separation lens array, deconvolution on sensing signals of the plurality of photo-sensing cells to process an image signal for each color obtained by the image sensor, and an image processor configured to form a color image from the image signal for each color processed by the signal processor.
