METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FRAME DENOISING

원문 (중국어)

Systems, apparatus, and methods for post-processing video e.g. frame denoising. Noise reduction techniques may be employed to improve the quality of digital video. Frames may be extracted from a video. Synthetic frames may be created using motion data between the extracted frames. Synthetic frames may be masked to exclude pixels from the composite frame. Thresholds used in masking may vary based on the temporal distance of the extracted frame used to create the synthetic frame and the extracted frame. Masking may be based on frame differences between extracted and synthetic frames (e.g., sub-pixel/luminance differences), areas of lower quality motion data (e.g., occlusions), or edge detection in the extracted frames. Synthetic and extracted frames may be composited generating frames having less noise. The composited frame may be based on averaging pixel values across the synthetic and extracted frames. Composited frames may be compiled and encoded into denoised video.
