Abstract:
An image sensor test device includes: an interface configured to transmit a control signal to an image sensor to be tested; and a host device configured to transmit, to the image sensor, a storage control signal instructing to store information about a bad pixel which is determined based on an output signal of the image sensor, wherein the output signal corresponds to the control signal, and wherein the storage control signal includes a signal of instructing to store the information about the bad pixel in a memory area of a plurality of memory areas.
Abstract:
An image processing device, which includes processing circuitry configured to cause the image processing device to first detect a first bad pixel based on first image data, correct the first bad pixel based on first values of first peripheral pixels in response to the first detection to obtain a first correction result, the first peripheral pixels being peripheral to the first bad pixel, second detect the first bad pixel and a second bad pixel based on the first image data, the second bad pixel being adjacent to the first bad pixel, correct the second bad pixel based on second values of second peripheral pixels to obtain a second correction result, the second peripheral pixels being peripheral to the second bad pixel, and correct the first bad pixel by using the first correction result stored in a buffer in response to the second detection.
Abstract:
A method of calibrating an image sensor including a color filter array having a first-type array pattern, the method includes capturing a target using the image sensor to generate first image data, performing a white balance operation on the first image data to generate second image data, performing an inverse white balance operation on the second image data based on a second-type array pattern to generate third image data, the second-type array pattern being different from the first-type array pattern, and calibrating the image sensor based on the third image data.
Abstract:
Imaging systems, such as time-of-flight imaging systems, and methods with pixel sensitivity adjustments. An embodiment includes a method, comprising: for a plurality of pixels having a first output and a second output, measuring the first outputs and the second outputs in response to a demodulation signal; and adjusting the demodulation signal such that a combination of the first outputs is substantially similar to a combination of the second outputs.
