Abstract: A method of reducing noise in video signal, by processing the pixels of a process frame of video signal in conjunction with a selected number of previously processed frames to determine values for target pixels in the process frame by applying a temporal motion detector to determine whether a target pixel has a still or motion status and further processing the pixels with motion status by impulse recognition step to further determine whether the pixel should be classified as having a still or a motion status. The pixels are then checked via a spatial motion detecting step to obtain a motion index value to the pixels and the motion index value is used in a motion adaptive temporal filter to define the pixel value of the still pixel. The motion index value of the pixels is used to set a dynamic threshold in a detailed motion active spatial filter to define the pixel value for the motion pixels.
