Patent ID: 7929030

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: a storage section that stores defective pixel information expressing defective pixels of an image pickup element; a correction section that, on the basis of the defective pixel information, performs correction of defective pixels on an image captured by the image pickup element; a point defect detector that, on the basis of a first image for defect detection which is obtained through image capture by the image pickup element and which has not been subjected to defective pixel correction, detects point defects of the image pickup element in accordance with point defect detecting conditions for detecting point defects which are formed by a single or a small number of defective pixels being distributed in dot form; a line defect detector that, on the basis of a second image for defect detection which is obtained through image capture by the image pickup element and which has not been subjected to defective pixel correction, detects line defects of the image pickup element in accordance with line defect detecting conditions for detecting line defects which are formed by a plurality of defective pixels being distributed rectilinearly; wherein point defect detection on the basis of the first image for defect detection is independent of line defect detection on the basis of the second image for defect detection; and a defective pixel information register that stores results of detection of the point defects and results of detection of the line defects in the storage section as the defective pixel information.
