Practically all video streams have noise of various types and amplitudes. Noise lowers the subjective quality of video, leads to a decreased compression ratio during encoding and increases the difficulty of other types of video processing. Temporal and spatial filtration are used to denoise video. There is a multitude of denoising solutions on the market, here is a comparison of some of them.

We offer a range of denoising algorithms with various speed/quality trade-offs. Versions tailored to hardware implementation are available. Also, we have developed denoising algorithms applicable to static image processing (also known as spatial denoisers).

Primary Applications

• Digital camcorders
• Television equipment
• DVD and HD DVD recorders
• Video CD/DVD/DivX players
• Stream pre-processing for better quality/compression ratio trade-off after encoding by either lossy or lossless video codecs

Key Features

• Various speed/quality trade-offs
• Competitive objective and subjective quality characteristics
• Fully automatic
• Preserves details
• Suitable for hardware implementation
