PIXEL DEFECT CORRECTION DEVICE, PIXEL DEFECT DETECTOR AND PIXEL DEFECT DETECTING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pixel defect correction device, a pixel defect detector and a pixel defect detecting method that can correct a defective pixel and stably detect the defective pixel without increasing the circuit scale in response to a color filter of an image pickup element.;SOLUTION: A defect pixel detection section 24 and a defect correction processing section 26 receive YC image signals that are processed by a YC conversion processing section respectively, the defect pixel detection section 24 detects a defective pixel in a picked-up image by an image pickup element 14 on the basis of a pixel value of its surrounding pixels and the defect correction processing section 26 corrects the pixel value of the defective pixel on the basis of the defect information depending on the detection.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
