Abstract:
Temporally filtering raw image data may include a temporal filter that determines a spatial location of a current pixel and identifies at least one collocated reference pixel from a previous frame. A motion delta value is determined based upon the current pixel and its collocated reference pixel. An index is determined based upon the motion delta value and a motion history value corresponding to the current pixel from the previous frame. Using the index, a first filtering coefficient may be selected from a motion table. Then an attenuation factor may be selected from a luma table based upon the value of the current pixel, and a second filtering coefficient may be determined based upon the selected attenuation factor and the first filtering coefficient. The temporally filtered output value corresponding to the current pixel may then be based upon the second filtering coefficient, the current pixel, and the collocated reference pixel.
