Abstract

A video enhancement processing system improves perceptual quality of video data with limited processing complexity. The system may perform spatial denoising using filter weights that may vary based on estimated noise of an input image. Specifically, estimated noise of the input image may alter a search neighborhood over which the denoising filter operates, may alter a profile of weights to be applied based on pixel distances and may alter a profile of weights to be applied based on similarity of pixels for denoising processes. As such, the system finds application in consumer devices that perform such enhancement techniques in real time using general purpose processors such as CPUs or GPUs.
