Correction method and image signal defect detection and correction device and imaging signal defect detection

摘要

PURPOSE:To reduce uncorrected defective parts in image pickup signals by efficiently utilizing the memory capacity of a memory means for storing defect address data used for detecting defective picture elements in respective plural image pickup surface formation parts and specifying positions. CONSTITUTION:This device is provided with a defect detection part 35 for detecting the defective parts based on the defective picture elements in the image pickup signals obtained from the three image pickup surface formation parts 10R, 10G and 10B, an identification data formation part for obtaining identification data for specifying the image pickup signals for which the defective parts are detected, a defect data storage part for storing the defect address data corresponding to the defective picture elements in the image pickup surface formation parts 10R, 10G and 10B relating to the formation of the image pickup signals for which the defective parts are detected in a data memory part corresponding to the identification data and a control signal formation part for obtaining defect correction instruction signals based on the defect address data and the identification data read from the data memory part.
