In this article, a radial distance-based look up table is used to calibrate a noise property change due to the vignette effect, and a spatial varying noise reduction level is computed to correct the noise property distortion due to image vignetting.
Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing noise artifacts in an image are disclosed. A radial distance-based look up table may be used to calibrate a noise property change due to the vignette effect. Based on the look up table, a spatial varying noise reduction level is computed to correct the noise property distortion due to the image vignetting.

Method and apparatus for improving low-light performance for small pixel image sensors

TL;DR: In this paper, a rolling sum of pixel values from a captured image is computed by selecting successive groups of the pixel values, each grouping comprising N×M pixel values and summing pixel values in each of the successive groupings, and forming an output image using the summed pixel values.
