CMOS image sensor cameras are integral part of modern hand held devices. Traditionally, CMOS image sensors are affected by many types of noises which reduce the quality of image generated. These spatially and temporally varying noises alter the pixel intensities, leading to corrupted pixels, also known as "bad" pixels. The proposed method uses a simple neural network approach to detect such bad pixels on a Bayer sensor image so that it can be corrected and overall image quality can be improved. The results show that we are able to achieve a defect miss rate of less than 0.045% with the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
