Claim One:
1. A vision recognition apparatus in a digital device, comprising: an image sensor including a plurality of pixels, a portion of the plurality of pixels being designated as vision pixels to be used for vision recognition; a first digital signal converter configured to digitally convert a signal output from the designated vision pixels; a second digital signal converter configured to digitally convert a signal output from the plurality of pixels; and a processor configured to: generate recognition image data to be used for vision recognition by using optical information obtained from the designated vision pixels by processing signals output from the first digital signal converter in a vision recognition mode, perform vision recognition by identifying and detecting a specific object included in the generated recognition image data, and generate capturing image data by processing signals output from the second digital signal converter in a shooting mode, wherein a number of the vision pixels to be used for vision recognition is determined depending on a resolution of the recognition image data, wherein a resolution of the vision pixels to be used for vision recognition is less than a resolution of other pixels in the plurality of pixels, wherein the vision pixels have higher sensitivities among the plurality of pixels having different sensitivities, the vision pixels including white pixels, and wherein the capturing image data is generated based on results obtained by performing pixel interpolation on optical information of the vision pixels.
