Abstract
A method and device for blending multiple related frames into a single frame to reduce noise is disclosed. A method includes comparing an input frame to a corresponding reference frame in order to determine if at least one object that is in both frames moves in the input frame, and also to determine edge strengths of the at least one object. The method further includes, based on the comparison, determining which regions of the input frame to blend with corresponding regions of the reference frame, which regions of the input frame not to blend with corresponding regions of the reference frame, and which regions of the input frame to partially blend with corresponding regions of the reference frame.
