Defective pixel detection equipment, defective pixel detection method, and defective pixel detection program

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, a method, and a program capable of detecting a defective pixel with higher accuracy in defective pixel detection, in which a defect is detected for each pixel aligned on a light receiving surface of an imaging device. PSOLUTION: The defective pixel detecting apparatus comprises a threshold setting means for establishing a threshold for an output value of each pixel signal, a pixel discriminating means for comparing the established threshold with the output value of each pixel signal and discriminating a pixel outputting its output value either higher than or low than the threshold, and a defect determining means for comparing discrimination result of a target pixel, which is judged whether it is a defective pixel or not, with all of discrimination results of a plurality pixels adjacent to the target pixel and aligned continuously, and for determining the target pixel as a defective one if only the discrimination result of the target pixel differs from others.
