    摘要: A defective pixel detection and correction mechanism (110) for use in an image sensor integrated circuit determines whether a current pixel is a defective pixel in a consistent manner from frame to frame. The defective pixel detection and correction mechanism (110) also replaces defective pixels with stable replacement values. The defective pixel detection and correction mechanism (110) has a defective pixel detection mechanism (210) that employs a look-up table (230) with defective pixel locations for providing a non-varying determination of whether a pixel is defective or non-defective. The defective pixel detection and correction mechanism also has a defective pixel correction mechanism (220) that employs a consistent replacement choice facility (254) to provide a previous pixel value in the same frame, on the same row, and a predetermined number of pixels from the current pixel location as a replacement value and a replacement unit (e.g., multiplexer) (250) for replacing the defective pixel value with the replacement value.
