Abstract

A video noise reduction system for reducing video noise in a sequence of video frames. In the video noise reduction system, a temporal filter computes multiple temporal average values for the video frames in different temporal directions. A motion detector computes multiple motion signal values for the video frames in different temporal directions. Finally, a control unit selects one of the temporal average values based on the motion signal values as output.
