摘要： A circuit for correction of white pixel defects capable of complementing white pixel faults without using a storage device for holding white pixel fault spots, and an image sensor using the circuit for correction of white pixel defects. Pixels constituting a pixel section are sequentially subjected to white pixel fault complementation process. A nearby pixel data holding section acquires pixel data from a readout circuit and holds the data. A comparison-determination section compares lightness of a target pixel with that of a nearby pixel and determines, based on the comparison result, whether or not the target pixel is associated with a white pixel fault having a lightness higher than that of the nearby pixel by a predetermined value or more. When it is judged by the comparison-determination section that the target pixel is associated with a white pixel fault, a complementary calculation section performs a complementary calculation by using the pixel data of the target and nearby pixels held by the nearby pixel data holding section, to generate complemented data.

摘要： The challenge of the present invention is to suppress a variation in brightness of an image and make a reference value of a black level converge at an appropriate value in a short time. A condition judgment circuit judges whether or not a frame of an amount of change in gains of a variable gain amplifier being equal to or greater than a threshold continues for a predefined frames or more. If a frame of an amount of change in the gains being equal to or greater than the threshold continues for the predefined frames, a black level value of the current frame is set for new black level reference. If not continues for the predetermined number, the previous black level reference value is retained in lieu of correcting the black level.
