Abstract:
An image sensing apparatus, a black level correction method thereof, and a computer readable medium are provided. The image sensing apparatus comprises a pixel array and a black level correction circuit, and the pixel array comprises an optical black area and an active area. The black level correction circuit generates a black offset with respect to a pixel in the active area according to a plurality of reference black offsets with respect to a plurality of reference pixels which are neighboring the pixel and a ratio determined according to a current thermal noise information and a reference thermal noise information. The black level correction circuit generates a corrected pixel data of the pixel according to original pixel data of the pixel and the black offset.

Claim (Index 15):
The image sensing apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the black level correction circuit is configured to generate a plurality of calibrated reference black offsets by respectively multiplying the plurality of reference black offsets with respect to the plurality of reference pixels neighboring the pixel by the ratio and generate the black offset with respect to the pixel according to the plurality of calibrated reference black offsets with respect to the plurality of reference pixels.
