    Abstract: A method of method of processing an image includes: determining estimates of parameters of an auto-regressive, AR, parametric model of noise contained in the image, according to which a current noise pixel is computed as a combination of a linear combination of P previous noise pixels in a causal neighborhood of the current noise pixel weighted by respective AR model linear combination parameters (φ1, . . . , φP) with a generated noise sample corresponding to an additive Gaussian noise of AR model variance parameter (σ), generating a noise template of noise pixels based on the estimated AR model parameters, wherein the noise template is of a predetermined pixel size smaller than the pixel size of the image, determining an estimate (σP) of a variance of the noise template, and based on a comparison of the estimated variance (σP) with a predetermined threshold (Tσ), correcting the AR model variance parameter (σ).

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for processing the noise of a stream comprising a series of images, comprising spatial filtering of a current image In in order to obtain a spatially filtered image Sn; determining a motion vector for each block B of pixels of the image Sn, from a single image Sn-1; calculating a confidence index αn[B] for each block B of image In, from the motion vector determined for B; constructing a temporal filter from the calculated confidence indices αn[B] and applying the temporal filter to the current image In in order to obtain a temporally filtered image Tn; spatial filtering of the current image In in order to obtain a spatially filtered image Dn where Dn can be equal to Sn, and obtaining a temporally and spatially filtered image Rn by applying a function combining image Tn and image Dn.
