Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for reducing noise in an image using depth-based on sweeping over image samples. In use, each noisy pixel of an image having noise is identified. Additionally, for each noisy pixel, at least one sample included in each of a plurality of neighboring pixels to the noisy pixel is identified. Furthermore, the samples are swept over at least partially in a depth-based order to identify a value for the noisy pixel that reduces the noise.
