Method and system for combining results of mosquito noise reduction and block noise reduction

In a video system, a method and system for combining results of mosquito noise reduction and block noise reduction are provided. Noise artifacts may be reduced in a video image by generating a first pixel correction value that combines a first and a second noise reduction parameters utilizing a first combination operation. Combining the first pixel correction value and a third noise reduction parameter utilizing a second combination operation may generate a second pixel correction value. New pixel values may be determined for the video image by adding an original pixel value and the pixel correction value. The noise reduction parameters may correspond to results from mosquito and block noise reduction operations. The first and second combination operations may be selected to be a maximum, a minimum, or an addition of the input parameters based on the sign of the input parameters.

Technique for Enhancing the Quality of Compressed Video Images

The scene is illuminated by light pulses at higher intensities at predetermined times than at times between the predetermined times. Images of the scene are captured at the predetermined times to provide a sequence of anchor frames in a stream of images, and images of the scene are captured at times between said predetermined times to provide non-anchor frames in the stream. The anchor and non-anchor frames are then compressed and processed to produce video with greater compression and reduced noise artifacts.The scene is illuminated by light pulses with wavelengths outside the visible range.

Denoise MCG Measurements

A magnetocardiogram (MCG) system with reduced noise artifacts is produced by first creating high-resolution image representations of low-resolution measurements obtained with a magnetic field sensor unit. The high-resolution image representations are created by use of a PCA model that has been trained using a library of ideal, no-noise, high-resolution images. The Biot-Sarvart Law is then used to create a 3D model of a current impulse, given the high-resolution image representations. From the 3D current impulse model, ideal sensor unit measurements as they would have been obtained using a theoretical sensor unit observing the 3D current impulse model are synthesized.

Method and apparatus for detecting dark noise artifacts

The present invention involves detecting dark noise artifacts in coded images and video. Locations of artifacts in compressed pictures are found. A strength of the artifact per block is determined as is an overall dark noise artifact strength for each picture. Artifact detection and strength assignment is performed by analyzing candidate areas that could be prone to this type of artifact. Multiple features such as block variance, color information, luminance levels and location of the artifact could be used in this process. Also, median filtering may be used on the identified areas to eliminate isolated areas. A final artifact parameter for each picture can be assessed based on the total number of blocks that are classified as dark noise and also the strength of each macroblock.
