摘要： An image sensing device includes a pixel sensing data processing unit, for receiving a pixel line sensing data to output first and second outputs. A controller receives the first output from the pixel sensing data processing unit, checks whether the pixel line sensing data include at least one defective pixel. If it has defective pixel, a correction rule is applied to compare the status data with a previously defective pixel. The correction rule includes comparing a state data of the previous defect pixels. If the defective pixel belongs to a regular pattern, the defective pixel is not corrected. A correction unit receives the second output and receives the correction status from the controller, and to correct the pixel and exports a display data. A recording unit records the status data of the defective pixel detected by the controller for comparing the status data of the next pixel line sensing data.
