ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing image noise is provided. In the method, during the process of reducing image noise by a bilateral filter, the image noise filtering intensity of a domain filter in the bilateral filter is adjusted according to whether a regional area of the image has a frame boundary, and the image noise filtering intensity of a range filter in the bilateral filter is adjusted through the intensity of a regional area, so as to improve the image noise reduction effect of the bilateral filter.
