Captured or digitized video often lacks sufficient clarity and detail distinctness. Straightforward approaches to image sharpening result in oversharpening of already pronounced details as well as considerable noise amplification.
Our solution is free from such drawbacks because it treats each pixel according to an adaptive method.The algorithm can be applied to both moving and static pictures.
