Optronic equipment for assisting with piloting an aircraft includes a first set of three cameras arranged on the aircraft to generate a panoramic strip from data transmitted by the three cameras of the first set and a second set of three cameras arranged on the aircraft to generate a panoramic strip from data transmitted by the three cameras of the second set, at least one of the cameras that occupies an extreme position on the aircraft relative to the cameras of the first and second sets being arranged so as to have a field of view that is greater horizontally than vertically.

Item of optronic equipment for assisting with piloting an aircraft

A defective-pixel detection method included in an image-processing procedure, including a pixel-processing procedure applied to pixels of an image supplied by an image sensor. Each pixel is associated with a classification value representing a state of said pixel. The method includes, for each pixel: applying the pixel-processing procedure; analyzing a result of the pixel-processing procedure; in the event of obtaining an unusual result representing a defect on a photosite of the image sensor that supplied said pixel, incrementing a number of detections of an unusual result for said pixel; and associating said pixel with a classification value representing a defective pixel when said number reaches a first threshold.
