Image sensor for capsule endoscope enabling dual mode operation

An image sensor for a capsule endoscope enabling dual mode operation having two lens for photographing an inside of animal bodies including a human body comprising:

• a clock generation unit for generating a clock connected to a master image sensor device;
• the master image sensor device including a master image sensor for encoding an image which is recorded by one of two lens and outputting an encoded signal thereof,
• a master control unit for controlling a frame synchronization between the master image sensor and a slave image sensor and an operation of a slave image sensor device, and
• a master communication unit for communicating with a slave communication unit;
• the slave image sensor device including the slave image sensor for encoding an image which is recorded by the other of two lens and outputting an encoded signal thereof,
• a slave control unit for controlling an operation of the slave image sensor and a slave communication unit according to the control of the master control unit, and
• the master communication unit for communicating with the master communication unit;
• and
• an operation selection unit for setting up in order to operate at least one of the master image sensor device and the slave image sensor device.
