Abstract
Methods and apparatus for use in reducing noise in one or more video frames. An expected value corresponding to each area (e.g., pixel) of a plurality of areas within the video frame is determined. A surprise value associated with each area is calculated based at least in part on the expected value and an actual value corresponding to the area. The surprise value represents a divergence of the actual value from the expected value. The response of one or more noise filters is attenuated with respect to a first area of the plurality of areas based on the surprise value associated with the first area.
