Abstract: A black image captured in a light-shielded state is obtained, and the streak intensity is determined for each pixel of the black image from the absolute value of an AC component in a region containing the pixel. An extraction image which extracts streak-like fixed pattern noise in a captured image is generated using a black image obtained by applying, to the obtained black image, the first filter for reducing random noise in the first direction.

Abstract: A direction being across the defective pixel and along which pixels used to calculate a signal level of a defective pixel are located, is determined. A ratio between signal levels of pixels that are adjacent to the defective pixel and that have a different color from the defective pixel, and signal levels of pixels that are adjacent to pixels being located along the determine direction with respect to the defective pixel and having the same color as the defective pixel and that have a different color from the defective pixel, is acquired.

Abstract: Whether or not a pixel output signal corresponding to a previously stored blinking defective pixel address is an abnormal value is detected. Then, when a signal value indicating a defective pixel is being output, the output signal is corrected. Deterioration of a taken image caused by excessively correcting a blinking defective pixel can be prevented from occurring.
