Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises an image decoding unit and a static noise reducing unit. The image decoding unit decodes a data stream and generates a plurality of image comprising a current image. The static noise reducing unit, coupled to the image decoding unit, generates a first adjustment value of a target pixel of the current image according to an original luminance value of the target pixel and at least one original luminance value of a neighboring pixel associated with the target pixel. The static noise reducing unit also determines a static adjustment luminance value of the target pixel according to the original luminance value, the first adjustment value, and a first weight. The first weight is associated with the chrominance value of the target pixel.
