Patent ID: 8767127

Claim:
A system for reducing noise in video processing, the system comprising: a data storage configured to store a model human visual system; an input module configured to receive an original picture in a video sequence and to receive a reference picture in the video sequence; a processor configured to: create a pixel map of the original picture using the model human visual system; determine a first layer from the pixel map using the model human visual system; determine a motion compensated difference between the original picture and the reference picture, determine a weighting map from the motion compensated difference between the original picture and the reference picture, wherein the weighting map includes a value for each pixel based on a model of human temporal perceptibility; and determine a processed picture from the original picture by recombining the first layer with the weighting map, wherein the first layer goes beyond a noise layer that includes additive noise and is made up of a spatial detail layer including a value for each pixel based on a model of human spatial perceptibility.
