  • Patent number: 9639915
    Abstract: An image processing method includes configuring a noise reduction filter for each of pixels in an image in accordance with a linear noise model of the image, based on different levels of a noise effect caused to a corresponding pixel, among the pixels, by other pixels, among the pixels and adjacent to the corresponding pixel. The method further includes performing noise reduction filtering on each of the pixels, using the noise reduction filter for each of the pixels, to obtain a noise reduced image.
