Abstract
A dead pixel compensating apparatus includes, inter alia, a pattern generation unit generating a programmable test pattern including data with respect to at least one dead pixel; a register array storing the test pattern; a dead pixel compensation unit receiving the test pattern stored in the register array and performing a dead pixel compensation algorithm to output compensation data; and a determination unit comparing the test pattern and the compensation data to determine whether or not the dead pixel compensation algorithm has an error, wherein a dead pixel compensation algorithm for compensating for a dead pixel of an image sensor in image data supplied from the image sensor is tested.
