Abstract
An image processing method is disclosed. The image processing method uses a first still image and a second still image which are chronologically successive and outputs an image from which noise has been reduced. A motion of the second still image is compensated block by block. Reliability of addition of the first still image and the motion-compensated second still image is determined pixel by pixel and a weighting factor is set corresponding thereto. The first still image and the motion-compensated second still image are added or averaged with the weighting factor and a processed image is obtained.
