Abstract
A noise reduction apparatus with simultaneous processing for allowing Simultaneous processing of image signals of a portion containing a noise processing object pixel to be inputted, wherein the image signals are existing at Spatially different locations or the image signals are contained in fields or frames at different times. A filtering is performed by low pass filter. A noise component extractor extracts noise components based upon outputs of the filter operation and noise attenuation means of attenuating noise using outputs of the noise components extraction means with respect to the noise processing object pixel within the outputs of the simultaneous processing means.
