A method of processing a digital image channel to remove noise, includes the steps of: identifying a pixel of interest; calculating a noise reduced pixel value from a single weighted average of the pixels in a sparsely sampled local region including the pixel of interest; replacing the original value of the pixel of interest with the noise reduced pixel value; and repeating these operations for all of the pixels in the digital image channel.
