An image sensor and a method performed by the image sensor are provided. The image sensor includes: a pixel array including a plurality of sensing pixels, each sensing pixel configured to convert a received optical signal into an electrical signal; a readout circuit configured to convert the electrical signal into image data and output the image data; and a bad pixel correction circuit configured to input first input data including a first cluster of bad pixels of the image data in a first direction to the neural network to generate first corrected pixel data, and flipping second input data including a second cluster of bad pixels of the image data in a second direction to generate third input data, and inputting the third input data to the neural network to generate second corrected pixel data. 提供图像传感器和由图像传感器执行的方法。所述图像传感器包括：像素阵列，包括多个感测像素，每个感测像素被配置为将接收的光信号转换为电信号；读出电路，被配置为将电信号转换为图像数据，并且输出图像数据；以及坏像素校正电路，被配置为将包括图像数据的在第一方向上的第一集群坏像素的第一输入数据输入到神经网络以生成第一校正的像素数据，并且翻转包括图像数据的在第二方向上的第二集群坏像素的第二输入数据以生成第三输入数据，并且将第三输入数据输入到神经
