Abstract:
The present technology relates to an image sensor. The image sensor according to an embodiment may include a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are connected through common lines, an internal amplifier configured to amplify a signal of a target pixel selected from among the plurality of pixels, switches configured to control a connection between the target pixel and floating diffusion nodes of candidate pixels having the same column address as the target pixel among the plurality of pixels, and a controller configured to output control signals for controlling the switches.
