METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VIDEO NOISE REDUCTION BY BLENDING FILTERING OUTPUTS

Noise-reduced pixels may be generated using outputs of filtering via a first filter and/or a second filter, and/or a blend of both outputs. Blending a current pixel and an output of filtering of current pixel via the first filter may generate a first blended current pixel. Filtering via the first filter may be based on the current pixel, a previous collocated pixel, and a next collocated pixel. Blending the current pixel and an output of filtering of current pixel via the second filter may generate a second blended current pixel. Filtering via the second filter may be based on the current pixel and a collocated pixel of the previous second blended video image or of the previous filtered output video image. Blending the first blended current pixel and the second blended current pixel using an adaptive blending factor may dynamically generate a filtered output pixel.
