Abstract

A method for processing a digital picture is disclosed. The method may include steps (A) to (C). Step (A) may generate a first picture by processing the digital picture using a first noise reduction technique in a circuit. Step (B) may generate a second picture by processing the digital picture using a second noise reduction technique. The first noise reduction technique may achieve a higher noise reduction than the second noise reduction technique. Step (C) may generate an output picture by combining the first picture and the second picture.
