Method and apparatus for detecting defective pixels based on human vision system

摘要

A bad pixel detection method and module which provide a quick-test and a full-test for bad pixel detections in an image. The quick-test tests a current pixel to one and only one good neighbor having been previously tested. The quick-test is optimized by exploiting weaknesses in the human visual system especially for red and blue colors. More lenient thresholds can be used for the blue color compared to thresholds for the red and green colors. Moreover, the full-test is constructed and arranged to detect bad pixel clusters in a kernel.
