Abstract
In various embodiments, a defective pixel detection application automatically detects defective pixels in video content. In operation, the defective pixel detection application computes a first set of pixel intensity gradients based on a first frame of video content and a first neighborhood of pixels associated with a first pixel. The defective pixel detection application also computes a second set of pixel intensity gradients based on the first frame and a second neighborhood of pixels associated with the first pixel. Subsequently, the defective pixel detection application computes a statistical distance between the first set of pixel intensity gradients and the second set of pixel intensity gradients. The defective pixel detection application then determines that the first pixel is defective based on the statistical distance.
