Film grain noise removal and generation for color images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a noise filtering scheme, which is based on a multichannel homomorphic transformation, for color photographic images corrupted by signal–dependent film grain noise. The proposed method performs the estimation of the noise parameter using the higher–order statistics (skewness or kurtosis) of the corrupted image and the filtered image statistics. This parameter estimation technique can be used to generate color film grain noise that has applications in motion picture productions. After a theoretical description of the method employed, experimental results are provided.

Film grain reduction on colour images using undecimated wavelet transform
The presence of film grain often imposes the crucial quality choice between film enlargement and speed. In this work we present an automatic technique for reducing the amount of grain on film images. The technique reduces the noise by thresholding the wavelet components of the image with parameterised family of functions obtained with an initial training on a set of images. The training produce...

Acquiring satisfactory and usable images with a camera involves ensuring that the film or digital sensor in a camera is properly exposed given a scene’s illumination strength and color. Several camera parameters affect this process. To properly handle variations of lighting strength a camera’s exposure can be adjusted by varying three parameters: exposure time, aperture size, and film or sensor...
متن کاملSimulating Film Grain using the Noise-Power Spectrum
Film grain is an essential part of real images. The artifacts it introduces add character to images, which can otherwise appear too perfect. This paper considers the synthesis of film grain based upon its noise-power spectrum, producing grain fields which approximate real film over a range of enlargements and densities. We also identify limitations of the noise-power spectrum in that it fails t...
