Techniques for enhancing an image using pixel-specific processing are disclosed. An image can be enhanced by updating certain pixels through patch aggregation. Neighboring pixels of a selected pixel are identified. Respective patch values for patches containing the selected pixel are determined. Patch values provide update information for updating the respective pixels in the patch. Relevant patch values for the selected pixel are identified by identifying associated patches of the pixel. Information from the relevant patch values of the selected pixel may be obtained. Using this information, pixel-specific processing may be performed to determine an updated pixel value for the selected pixel or for neighboring pixels of the selected pixel. Pixel-specific processes may be executed for each of the selected or neighboring pixels. These pixel-specific processes can be executed in parallel. Therefore, through the execution of pixel-specific processes, which may be performed concurrently, an enhanced image may be determined.
