Pixel fault numbering convention

The pixel notation is shown in Figure 34. For the purposes of the test the 3 x 3 array

describes nine Bayer pixels of a common color, that is, all the pixels will either be Red,

Green(a) or Blue. The pixel under test is X. If a pixel under test is on the edge, the array is

reduced to its existing neighbor pixels (that is, the first pixel uses only a 2 x 2 array).

9.1.4

Single pixel faults

STMicroelectronics defines a single pixel fail as a failing pixel with no adjacent failing same

color neighbors.

A single pixel fail can be:

•

“stuck at white” where the output of the pixel is permanently saturated regardless of the

level of incident light and exposure level

•

“stuck at black” where the pixel output is zero regardless of the level of incident light

and exposure level (major fail) or simply a pixel that differs from it’s immediate

neighbors by more than the test threshold (minor fail).

In the example in Figure 35, the pixel X is a fail. For this pixel to be a single pixel fail the

pixels at positions [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7] must be “good” pixels that pass final

test. The implemented test program will pass a sensor with up to the defined limit of single

pixel faults per color channel. Defect correction algorithms will correct the pixel faults in the

final image.
