Abstract
A method for film grain rendering includes receiving, by a computing system a first image. The method also includes modeling, by a processor of the computing system, film grains for the image. The method also includes deriving, by the processor, second order statistics for the film grains. The method also includes synthesizing, by the processor and based at least in part on the second order statistics, the film grains as correlated signal dependent noise. The method further includes rendering, by the processor, a second image that corresponds to the first image and that includes the synthesized film grains.
