ABSTRACT:
A digital image sensor comprising an array of pixels and a processor is provided. The array of pixels comprises a current pixel in a first color plane that is configured to produce a current sensor value, a first plurality of pixels in the first color plane that is configured to produce a first plurality of sensor values, and a second plurality of pixels in the second color plane that is configured to produce a second plurality of sensor values. The processor is configured to generate a plurality of estimate values using the first plurality of sensor values and a plurality of intensity ratios associated with the second plurality of sensor values, and the processor is configured to determine whether the current pixel is defective using the plurality of estimate values and the current sensor value.
