A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a digital image of an object, the digital image including pixels having associated pixel values contaminated by noise, and side information pertaining to confidence of a value acquired in each pixel. The method may further include measuring characteristics of noise in each pixel of the digital image, and a plurality of weights relating to one or more of the pixel values, the side information, and the noise characteristics. The method may further include computing a smart filter based on a combination of the plurality of weights, applying the smart filter to filter the digital image by reducing the noise in the digital image, and outputting the filtered digital image.

Abstract: Example range estimation apparatus disclosed herein include a first signal processor to estimate a signal power parameter and a noise power parameter of a LIDAR system based on first data to be output from a light capturing device of the LIDAR system. Disclosed example range estimation apparatus also include a second signal processor to generate templates corresponding to different possible propagation delays associated with second data to be output from the light capturing device, the second data associated with a modulated light beam projected by the LIDAR system, the templates generated based on the signal power parameter and the noise power parameter, and the second data to have a higher sampling rate and a lower quantization resolution than the first data. In some examples, the second signal processor is also to determine, based on the templates, an estimated propagation delay associated with the second data.
