A semiconductor image sensor is provided that includes an on-chip temperature-sensitive element. The signal output of the temperature-sensitive element is used to determine a black level value for the image sensor and to calculate a color correction value to be applied to the signal output of the semiconductor image sensor. The signal output of the temperature-sensitive element may be determined by time-averaging a series of signal outputs from the temperature-sensitive element. The temperature-sensitive element signal output may also be determined by combining, e.g., averaging, the signal outputs of a plurality of on-chip temperature-sensitive elements.
