Abstract
An image pickup apparatus is constructed as including: a smear level detecting section for detecting smear components of CCD image pickup device; a smear correcting section for correcting effective pixel signals based on the detected smear components; an output deteriorated pixel determining section for determining corresponding effective signal pixels as output deteriorated pixels when the level of smear component has reached a predetermined value; a compensation condition determining section for determining whether an output deteriorated pixel satisfies predetermined compensation conditions or not; and a data compensating section for performing data compensation of pixels determined as satisfying the compensation conditions by using information of neighboring pixels, the other pixels determined as not satisfying the compensation conditions at the compensation condition determining section being subjected to correction at the smear correcting section.
