Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion device includes a photoelectric conversion element to generate an image signal according to an intensity of light being input and circuitry. The circuitry obtains pixel values in dark time, respectively, for at least a first time and a second time. The second time is longer than the first time. The pixel values in dark time represent pixel values obtained when no light is input to the photoelectric conversion element. The circuitry obtains a subtraction between the pixel values for the first time and the pixel values for the second time. The circuitry detects a noise amount based on the subtraction. The circuitry determines at least one pixel having the detected noise amount that is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold value, as a defective pixel of the photoelectric conversion element.

Claim (Index 4):
The photoelectric conversion device according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the circuitry calculates a correlation degree between a target pattern and a template with a size of a part of the target pattern, while shifting the template on the target pattern at least pixel by pixel from an edge of the target pattern in a direction, in which pixels are arranged, the target pattern including one pixel row including the defective pixel and one or more pixel rows on each side of the one pixel row; and interpolates the defective pixel with a replacement pixel, the replacement pixel being a pixel at a center of the part of the target pattern having a maximum correlation degree.
