The invention provides a dead pixel point detecting method and equipment, the method includes: judging whether the pixel point is in detail area or even area; judging whether pixel points in the even area are spatially connected or are already in the automatic dead point list; performing scene mobile judgments on pixel points which are judged to be spatially connected and are already in the automatic dead point list; determining whether a dead point is existed according to result of the scene mobile judgment. The invention differentiates the detail area and the even area to effectively prevent illegibility of the original image details; strictly performing space connection judgment condition when judging dead points in the even area to improve sensitivity of dead point detection and detecting ratio of the damaged points; detecting ratio of the real dead points is greatly increased by application of the automatic dead point.
