1. An image processing system comprising:
an imaging device;
a pre-processor generating pre-processing data based on Bayer data inputted from the imaging device; and
a main processor inputting the pre-processing data generated by the pre-processor, and performing an image processing based on the pre-processing data, wherein the pre-processor comprises:
a camera interface inputting the Bayer data from the imaging device;
an RGB data converter generating RGB data based on the Bayer data;
an RGB-density converter generating grayscale data by adjusting a density of each color based on the RGB data;
a data array converter generating array convert data based on the Bayer data or the grayscale data; and
a data superimposer superimposing one or more of the RGB data, the grayscale data, and the array convert data on the Bayer data to output it as the pre-processing data, and
wherein the main processor separates the pre-processing data into the Bayer data and the one or more of the RGB data, the grayscale data, and the array convert data to perform an image processing.
