Defective pixel correction apparatus and method

Abstract

A defective pixel correction apparatus and a defective pixel correction method of the present technique include a first defective pixel corrector for specifying a defective pixel included in an image signal of each of color signals sent from an imaging unit, and obtaining a linear interpolation value from pixels around the defective pixel to perform a first defective pixel correction process on the defective pixel by linear interpolation. Further, the defective pixel correction apparatus and the defective pixel correction method include a second defective pixel corrector for performing an aberration correction process based on an image signal of a specific color after the first defective pixel correction process, and performing a second defective pixel correction process different from the first defective pixel correction process on the pixel that has been subjected to the first defective pixel correction process.
