  • DETECTION DEVICE FOR DEFECTIVE PIXEL IN PHOTOGRAPHIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20080273102
    Abstract: The defeat determination unit determines whether a target pixel among the pixels of the image sensor is defective on the basis of a first defect map and at least one second defect map. The first defeat map shows a first relationship between a pixel value of the target pixel and pixel values of first neighboring same-color pixels with the target pixel that neighbor and surround the target pixel. The second defect map shows a second relationship between a pixel value of a heterochromatic adjacent pixel with the target pixel and pixel values of second neighboring same-color pixels with the heterochromatic adjacent pixel that neighbor and surround the heterochromatic adjacent pixel.
