Defective Pixel Correction Function
Multiple defective pixels that are not adjacent to each other can occur on conventional CMOS sensor
cameras.
This camera features a function that interpolates defective pixels using the surrounding pixels. Up to
512 pixels can be corrected. Pixel interpolation can be performed via automatic detection or point-by-
point manual settings.
Automatic Detection
Automatic detection can only detect lit defective pixels (i.e., white blemishes).
1. Shield the camera sensor. If a lens is attached, use the lens cap as a shield, for example.
2. Configure the threshold level for defective pixel detection.
Specify the threshold value for the blemishes to be detected using the
-
Blemish Detect Threshold
setting. The threshold value is specified as a percentage.
The default setting is "10" with 10% of the full scale (100%) specified as the threshold value.
3. Execute
Blemish Detect
to start automatic detection. After detection, the interpolation data is
saved to the camera's internal memory.
To check the number of interpolated pixels after automatic detection
You can check the number of pixels interpolated via automatic detection by loading the BlemishNum
data.
Manual Configuration
1. Select the index in
Blemish Detect Position Index
.
You can select from 0 to 511. However, configure the indexes in order starting with the smallest
index. If you skip indexes while configuring settings, interpolation may not be performed.
2. Specify the pixel points for interpolation using the
Blemish Detect Position X
and
Blemish
Detect Position Y
settings. Each point is saved to the camera's internal memory as you
configure them.
You can configure values that are within the total effective pixel area. Specify pixels for which
interpolation is not necessary as -1. If 0 is specified, the first line or first pixel will be interpolated.
3. Set
Blemish Enable
to
True
, and execute interpolation. If
False
is specified, defective pixel
interpolation is disabled.
