1. An image sensing system comprising:
a camera module; and
an application processor electrically connected to the camera module,
wherein the camera module includes:
an image sensor including a pixel array including color filters having a first pattern, the image sensor being configured to sense light incident on the pixel array to generate a first pattern image signal having the first pattern;
a first converter configured to convert the first pattern image signal into a second pattern image signal having a second pattern that is different from the first pattern and includes an RGB color pattern; and
a second converter configured to convert the second pattern image signal into a third pattern image signal having a third pattern that is different from the first pattern and the second pattern, and
wherein the application processor is configured to perform image processing on the third pattern image signal.
