1. An image sensing system comprising:
a first sub-pixel array having an arrangement of K×K pixels, where “K” is a natural number,
wherein the first sub-pixel array includes:
first pixels disposed in a first diagonal direction and each having a green filter;
second pixels disposed in a second diagonal direction that intersects the first diagonal direction and each having a red filter;
third pixels disposed in the second diagonal direction and each having a blue filter;
fourth pixels each having a white filter and disposed at other positions from the first to third pixels disposed in the first and second diagonal directions; and
fifth pixels suitable for measuring depth information and disposed at other positions from the first to third pixels disposed in the first and second diagonal directions, and
wherein the fourth pixels and the fifth pixels are disposed in a first pattern.
