Abstract

Nonlocal means (NLM) video denoising algorithm though provide very competitive results, suffer from high computational cost. We propose to reduce the computations through the concept of dimensionality reduction using principle component analysis (PCA). Image neighbourhood representations are projected onto a lower dimensional subspace determined by PCA and weights are computed in this reduced subspace. Principle components are computed globally for an entire video shot having similar frames, which reduces computations drastically. We have used a technique of histogram difference to group the frames with similar visual content. We have achieved an improvement in accuracy in addition to reducing the computation. The proposed method is shown to outperform all other nonlocal means related video denoising methods.
