Abstract
A method of method of processing an image includes: determining estimates of parameters of an auto-regressive, parametric model of noise, according to which a current noise pixel is computed combining linear combination of previous noise pixels in a causal neighborhood of the current noise pixel weighted by respective model linear combination parameters with a generated noise sample corresponding to an additive Gaussian noise of model variance parameter; performing a convergence check loop, each iteration including: generating a noise template of noise pixels based on the estimated model parameters, the noise template having predetermined pixel size smaller than the image pixel size; estimating a noise template variance; if the estimated variance is below a first predetermined threshold or above a second predetermined threshold, proportionally decreasing the model linear combination parameters with a predetermined correcting factor, and performing another convergence check loop; otherwise exiting the convergence check loop.
