Overview:
CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) often suffer from base noise, such as Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), which deteriorates image quality in low-light environments. Traditional noise reduction methods include mask filters for still images and temporal noise data accumulation for video streams. However, these methods can lead to ghosting artifacts in sequential images due to inconsistent signal processing. To address this, this IP offers advanced noise reduction techniques and features a specific Anti-ghost Block to minimize ghosting effects.
