You could even further eliminate false positives if you required a pixel to fail your test in multiple separate images (of different subjects).Īs for the details of how to do this calculation, you can either do something like you already proposed, but compare against all four neighbors or a Google search for "dead pixel detection algorithm" yields a host of articles on various ideas. You would allow a sharp difference between one pixel and two of the four neighbors, but not a sharp difference between one pixel and all four neighbors since that one pixel singularity in a real image would be very unlikely. What would be less likely to generate a false positive would be to compare a pixel to at least each of the four pixels around it (above, below, left, right). So, looking only at the pixel to the right could easily generate some false positives. It seems likely that you could have a legitimate sharp transition from light to dark or vice/versa in a real image - a sharp shadow line transitioning to bright sun or just the edge of a white object against a black background. On Pixel 5 phones, if you see a white dot. (The diagram has been created by Mwtoews) Doesnt respond Flickers Jumps Flashes Shows dead pixels Stays blank. Note that this algorithm has a fixed runtime of 3*n. You could also add a local check to filter false-positives. And, of course, if your data is scattered because the screen is completely broken, this approach won't help you. Also stuck pixel cannot be detected if you recorded the intensity map with a plain white image. However, there is one major drawback, as this approach will only work if the screen equally illuminated. Note that I also added a pixel with a very high intensity, which is probably stuck: entry 0 with value 5000 propably dead This will result in the dead pixels (8% of total pixels) revealed. According to the 68-95-99.7 rule 95% of all data should be in the interval.

Instead calculate the overall average µ and variance σ 2 of your data and interpret the data as normal distributed. It can also misinterpret a stuck pixel (pixel with 100% intensity) as valid pixel and the surrounding pixel as defect, depending on the image that was used to test the screen. Your current approach won't help you if you have a cluster of dead pixels. How many pixels you sample would be determined by your tolerance for false negatives. This way as long as a single pixel in the entire area is not dead all of the dead pixels will be detected. You might try taking the max value out of all of the pixels in a small area. One approach to avoiding false negatives is to take the average of several nearby pixels, but this might not work if there are a lot of dead pixels in the area. I'm assuming you take the intensity of the neighboring pixel to avoid comparing pixels that are in different areas of the screen since the screen's brightness might not be evenly distributed. However, I'm not sure your algorithm is always correct.ĭo you have a way of avoiding comparing consecutive dead pixels? Example input: 3183 3176 1135 1135 3212 Your algorithm uses a constant amount of memory, which is also optimal. Check standard definition (ISO 9241) and class level 0-3 in the list table. Please contact local distributors/dealers for further information.You'll need to look at each pixel at least once so there's no way your running time can ever beat the current O(n), where n is the number of pixels. What is defective pixel (white, dark, red, green, blue) Is your monitor or display need to repaired or returned if more than zero 0 dead pixel be found. Warranty duration and product specification may vary from different regions. A sub-pixel, less than or equal to 0.5 of a sub-pixel, is excluded from the warranty.Ģ.
