Abstract
Method and system for denoising an edge in a raw digital image are described. First, a direction of a normal to the edge near a pixel p is determined, and neighboring pixels are projected to the normal to the edge, forming projected pixels. Then weighted intensities of the neighboring pixels are determined, including set of weights. One dimensional Gaussian filter centered on the pixel p and acting on the projected pixels is applied, and intensities of the neighboring pixels are adjusted according to the set of weights, resulting in a denoised value z of the pixel p using the weighted intensities, thereby denoising the edge of the raw image expediently.
