Method and system for bad pixel correction in image sensors

A method of detecting a bad pixel in an image sensor includes: determining, a first color of a center pixel of a Bayer patch output by the image sensor; extracting, a main patch, a first auxiliary patch, and a second auxiliary patch from the Bayer patch, having the first color, a second other color,...

Zusammenfassung:A method of detecting a bad pixel in an image sensor includes: determining, a first color of a center pixel of a Bayer patch output by the image sensor; extracting, a main patch, a first auxiliary patch, and a second auxiliary patch from the Bayer patch, having the first color, a second other color, and a third other color, respectively; generating a normalized patch of the first color from the main patch and the auxiliary patches that brings a level of the auxiliary patches to a level of the main patch; and detecting whether the center pixel of the Bayer patch is a bad pixel using the normalized patch.
