Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. An image capture device comprising:
an image sensor configured to:
capture a first plurality of frames comprising a central frame, an input frame that is temporally precedent to the central frame, and a second input frame that is temporally precedent to the input frame,
capture a second plurality of frames comprising the central frame, the input frame, and a third input frame that is temporally subsequent to the central frame, and
capture a third plurality of frames comprising the central frame, the third input frame, and a fourth input frame that is temporally subsequent to the third input frame; and

a processor comprising:
a first denoising layer, the first denoising layer comprising:
a first denoiser configured to denoise the first plurality of frames and output a first denoised frame,
a second denoiser configured to denoise the second plurality of frames and output a second denoised frame, and
a third denoiser configured to denoise the third plurality of frames and output a third denoised frame; and
a second denoising layer comprising a fourth denoiser configured to output a denoised frame based on the first denoised frame, the second denoised frame, and the third denoised frame,
wherein the first denoising layer and the second denoising layer comprise a multi-scale architecture, and wherein the multi-scale architecture includes a plurality of skip-connections that forward an output of an encoder layer directly to an input of a corresponding decoder layer.
