    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an optimized image filter. The optimized image and video obtains an input image and selects a target pixel for modification. Difference values are then determined between the selected target pixel and each reference pixel of a search area. Subsequently, a weighting function is used to determine weight values for each of the reference pixels of the search area based on their respective difference value. The selected target pixel is then modified by the optimized image filter using the determined weight values. A new target pixel in an apply patch is then selected for modification. The new target pixel is modified using the previously determined weight values reassigned to a new set of reference pixels. The previously determined weight values are reassigned to the new set of reference pixels based on each of the new set of reference pixels' position relative to the new target pixel.

    Abstract: An embodiment method for estimating a missing or incorrect value in a table of values generated by a photosite matrix comprises a definition of a zone of the table comprising the value to be estimated and other values, referred to as neighboring values, and an estimation of the value to be estimated based on the primary neighboring values and the weight associated with these primary neighboring values, wherein a weight of each neighboring value, referred to as primary neighboring value, of the same colorimetric component as that of the missing or incorrect value to be estimated, is determined according to differences between neighboring values disposed on an axis and neighboring values disposed parallel with this axis and positioned in relation to this axis on the same side as the primary neighboring value for which the weight is determined.

    Abstract: A system has an array of pixels including a plurality of active pixels and a plurality of dark reference pixels and processing circuitry coupled to the array of pixels. The processing circuitry sequentially computes, for each of a plurality of pairs of sets of dark reference pixels of the plurality of dark reference pixels, absolute differences in dark signal levels of the pair of sets of dark reference pixels. The absolute differences in dark signal levels are accumulated and a noise level of the dark reference pixels of the array of pixels is estimated based on the accumulated absolute differences. The system may be employed in, for example, a back-up camera of an automobile or a mobile phone.
