A note on multi-image denoising

TLDR
A strategy to efficiently denoise multi-images or video by using a complex image processing chain involving accurate registration, video equalization, noise estimation and the use of state-of-the-art denoising methods that can be estimated accurately from the image burst.
Abstract
Taking photographs under low light conditions with a hand-held camera is problematic. A long exposure time can cause motion blur due to the camera shaking and a short exposure time gives a noisy image. We consider the new technical possibility offered by cameras that take image bursts. Each image of the burst is sharp but noisy. In this preliminary investigation, we explore a strategy to efficiently denoise multi-images or video. The proposed algorithm is a complex image processing chain involving accurate registration, video equalization, noise estimation and the use of state-of-the-art denoising methods. Yet, we show that this complex chain may become risk free thanks to a key feature: the noise model can be estimated accurately from the image burst. Preliminary tests will be presented. On the technical side, the method can already be used to estimate a non parametric camera noise model from any image burst.

Fast burst images denoising

TL;DR: A fast denoising method that produces a clean image from a burst of noisy images by introducing a lightweight camera motion representation called homography flow and a mechanism of selecting consistent pixels for temporal fusion to handle scene motion during the capture.
