Abstract
The invention relates to a method for reducing noise of the pulsive type in digital video receiver sets. The method consists of picking up a noise-affected sample of a video signal and replacing it with a weighted average of samples located in the contour thereof; this allows the noise component to be fittered out with a lower load, in terms of circuit complexity, on the TV set.
