Method and device for reducing noise in a component of a picture
Abstract
The present principles relate to a method and a device for reducing noise in a component of a picture. The method includes obtaining a low-pass filtered component by low-pass filtering the component of the picture, for a current pixel in the component of the picture. For at least one current neighboring pixel of the current pixel, computing a distance, relative to the current neighboring pixel, between the value of the current pixel in the low-pass filtered component and the value of the current neighboring pixel in the low-pass filtered component. When the distances relative to the at least one neighboring pixels of the current pixel are lower than a first threshold, modifying the value of the current pixel in said component of the picture according to a linear combination of the value of the current pixel in the component of the picture and the value of the current pixel in the low-pass filtered component. Otherwise the value of the current pixel in the at least one component of the picture remains unchanged.
