  • Patent number: 11816858
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an image processing circuit comprising a noise reduction circuit configurable to perform bilateral filtering on demosaiced and resampled image data, or on raw image data, based on the operating mode of the image processing circuit. The noise reduction circuit filters received image data based upon directional taps, by selecting, for each pixel, a set of neighbor pixels, and comparing values of the set of neighbor pixels to determine whether the pixel lies on a directional edge. For raw images, the noise reduction circuit selects the set of neighbor pixels to include a plurality of pixels of the same color channel as the pixel, and one or more additional pixels of a different color channel, where color values for the one or more additional pixels are determined by interpolating color values of two or more adjacent pixels of the same color channel as the pixel.

  • Patent number: 11756175
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for efficiently, quickly, and flexibly applying median filters to digital image utilizing a separable sorting network approach for computation sharing. For example, the disclosed systems generate a modified digital image by determining pixel values for a number of output tiles in applying a median filter. To generate output tiles, in some implementations, the disclosed systems utilize different forms of separability to precompute sorted columns of pixels to reduce the size of per-pixel tasks required to generate output pixels and to share computations among nearby pixels of an input tile captured from a digital image in generating output tiles. In some implementations, the disclosed systems utilize an interpreter to generate and apply a median filter to a digital image at runtime based on a user-selected filter size.
