Abstract:
The present invention provides an effective flicker detection method performing a motion compensation. The present invention includes the steps of: calculating a luminance difference between neighboring pixels; summing up the luminance difference in a specific direction if the difference is greater than a threshold value; performing a motion estimation by using a sum calculated through step (b) to thereby calculate a motion displacement; performing a motion compensation to a current frame data by using the motion displacement; calculating a difference between a previous frame data and the compensated current frame data; and detecting the flicker by using the difference calculated in step (e).
Abstract:
A method of processing image signals comprises determining whether each of multiple units of input pixel data received from an image sensor is bad pixel data generated by a bad pixel of the image sensor or normal pixel data generated by a normal pixel of the image sensor, and performing interpolation to generate image data corresponding to the bad pixel using only normal pixel data and omitting bad pixel data.
