Pixels that fulfill the blemish criteria can be compensated by averaging the data from pixels in both adjacent columns and, in the case of the SP-20000C-USB, the defective pixels can be compensated by averaging the data from the same Bayer color pixels in adjacent columns.
SP-20000M-USB / SP-20000C-USB If several defective pixels occur in series, 3 pixels in monochrome and 2 same color pixels in color can be compensated. Avaraging Avaraging Defective pixels Defective pixels Fig. 46 Compensation if defective pixels are in series Table – 51...
