A METHOD REMOVING A BAD PIXEL OF PIXEL IMAGE GENERATED BY AN IMAGE SENSOR, A IMAGE SENSOR USING THE METHOD, AND A APPLICATION PROCESSOR USING THE METHOD

摘要

In the method of removing a bad pixel from a pixel image generated by an image sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining whether a representative pixel is included in a kernel whose target pixel is a center pixel, if the representative pixel is included in the kernel, Determining whether the target pixel is a bad pixel, and if the target pixel is the bad pixel, correcting the target pixel using pixels included in the kernel.
