Abstract
According to one embodiment, a condition judging unit judges whether a target pixel corresponds to a defect condition based on a signal of the target pixel and a signal of a horizontal peripheral pixel. A signal substituting unit performs signal substitution on the target pixel corresponding to the defect condition. When the condition judging unit judges that at least one of a vertical peripheral pixel and an oblique peripheral pixel corresponds to the defect condition, the signal substituting unit stops the signal substitution on the target pixel.
