METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORING LOCATION ADDRESS OF DEFECTIVE PIXEL

摘要

A method and apparatus for storing a location address of a defective pixel are disclosed. The method for storing a location address of a defective pixel includes (a) partitioning the pixel array into windows in a predetermined quantity of n, n being a natural number; (b) determining whether successively inputted pixel data is a defective pixel; (c) storing a count value of pertinent pixel data on a window corresponding to the defective pixel as the location address if the inputted pixel data is a defective pixel; and (d) repeating the steps (b) and (c) whenever pixel data corresponding to the pixel array is inputted. With the present invention, the location address can be efficiently stored.
