Patent ID: 8638395

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving a first temporal sequence of first plural frames and a reference frame, at least a portion of the first plural frames and the reference frame corrupted by noise; frame matching the first plural frames; summing the frame-matched first plural frames with at least one of the first plural frames to provide a first summation frame; delaying the frame-matched first plural frames to provide a first delayed frame; frame matching the first summation frame to the reference frame to provide a second summation frame; self-combining the second summation frame multiple times to provide a multiplied frame; summing the multiplied frame with the first delayed frame and the reference frame to provide a third summation frame; delaying the third summation frame to provide a delayed third summation frame, wherein each of the delaying comprises an imposition of a defined delay that varies based on the inputted frame; frame matching the delayed third summation frame with the reference frame to provide a fourth summation frame, wherein each of the frame matching comprises processing of luminance and chrominance data of the inputted frames; and outputting the first delayed frame, the second summation frame, the reference frame, and the fourth summation frame for further processing.
