Pixel defect detection and correction device, imaging apparatus, pixel defect detection and correction method, and program

摘要

A pixel defect detection and correction device includes: an average value acquisition section that acquires an average value of pixel values of adjacent pixels with different colors excluding a pixel whose defect is to be detected, which is a pixel of interest, in a processing region where adjacent pixels with the same color and adjacent pixels with different colors are arrayed with the pixel whose defect is to be detected in the middle; and a defect determining section that determines whether the pixel whose defect is to be detected is defective on the basis of at least the average value. The defect determining section determines whether the pixel whose defect is to be detected is defective by comparison of the pixel value of the pixel whose defect is to be detected, the average value of adjacent pixels with different colors, and a designated different-color pixel threshold value.
