1. A vision sensor comprising a plurality of pixels configured to generate first signals in response to a variation in an intensity of light, wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises:
an amplifier including a first end and a second end;
a reset switch configured to connect the first end of the amplifier and the second end of the amplifier in response to a reset switching signal,
wherein the reset switch is configured to receive a first voltage level of the reset switching signal and to receive a second voltage level of the reset switching signal based on temperature information of the vision sensor;
a first comparator configured to generate on-signals based on the first signals; and
a second comparator configured to generate off-signals based on the first signals,
wherein the first signals are related to a movement of an object.
