Abstract
According to one implementation, an image rendering system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing an image denoising software code. The hardware processor executes the image denoising software code to receive an image file including multiple pixels, each pixel containing multiple depth bins, and to select a pixel including a noisy depth bin from among the pixels for denoising. The hardware processor further executes the image denoising software code to identify a plurality of reference depth bins from among the depth bins contained in one or more of the pixels, for use in denoising the noisy depth bin, and to denoise the noisy depth bin using an average of depth bin values corresponding respectively to each of the reference depth bins.
