Abstract
An image processing pipeline may dynamically determine filtering strengths for noise filtering of image data. Statistics may be collected for an image at an image processing pipeline. The statistics may be accessed and evaluated to generate a filter strength model that maps respective filtering strengths to different portions of the image. A noise filter may determine a filtering strength for image data received at the noise filter according to the filter strength model. The noise filter may then apply a filtering technique according to the determined filtering strength.
