Efficient noise reduction coding may include generating, by a processor, an encoded frame by encoding an input video frame. Encoding the input frame includes determining an estimated noise level for the input video frame, determining a minimum quantization parameter level based on the estimated noise level for the input video frame, determining a quantization parameter value for encoding the input frame such that the quantization parameter value is at least the minimum quantization parameter level, obtaining the encoded frame by encoding the input frame in accordance with the quantization parameter level, including the encoded frame in an output bitstream, and outputting the output bitstream.
