Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “ “The present disclosure relates to a circuit for processing images, and more spe cifically to a circuit for noise reduction in image data by blending results of bilateral filtering and machine learning filtering. “Image data captured by an image sensor or received from other data sources is o ften processed in an image processing pipeline before further processing or cons umption. For example, raw image data may be corrected, filtered, or otherwise mo dified before being provided to subsequent components such as a video encoder. T o perform corrections or enhancements for captured image data, various component s, unit stages or modules may be employed.
