Abstract

We propose a block-based signal-dependent noise estimation method on 
videos, that leverages inter-frame redundancy to separate noise from 
signal. Block matching is applied to find block pairs between two 
consecutive frames with similar signal. Then the Ponomarenko et al. 
method is extended to video by sorting pairs by their low-frequency 
energy and estimating noise in the high frequencies. Experiments on a 
real dataset of drone videos show its performance for different 
parameter settings and different noise levels. Two extensions of the 
proposed method using subpixel matching and for multiscale noise 
estimation are respectively analyzed.
