1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an image sensor including pixels that generate first image data; and
an image processing system including;
a neural network processor configured to receive first coordinate information associated with first-type bad pixel clusters, and to perform a cluster-level bad pixel correction operation on the first image data based on the first coordinate information to generate second image data, and
a main processor configured to perform a post-processing operation on the second image data to generate third image data.
