Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of digital image processing, in particular to a method for compensating dead pixels of digital images. technical background
[0002] At present, digital imaging products such as computer cameras, mobile phone cameras, digital cameras, and camcorders use image sensors mostly of RGB Bayer type, and their original output data formats are shown in Figure 1: Odd numbers behave GRGR..., even numbers behave BGBG..., This is how the image sensor array is arranged on the lens. It can be seen that each 2*2 pixel block contains two G components and one R and B components. RGB format data means that each pixel contains RGB components, and the RGB value of each pixel is calculated by interpolation based on the original output RGB Bayer data of each pixel around the pixel.
[0003] Due to the limitations of current technology for manufacturing image sensors, various digital imaging products may have dead pixels. The so-called de...
