STOIK Noise Autofix description
STOIK Noise Autofix - Fully Automatic Noise Reduction In Digital Photos

STOIK Noise Autofix implements the first noise reduction algorithm that allows fully automatic operation. STOIK Noise Autofix will automatically clean noise in photos obtained from digital cameras, cameraphones and scanners.

STOIK Noise Autofix includes modules of noise detection, noise analysis and noise filtration which are statistically trained to provide optimal balance between noise reduction and preservation of image detail.

The noise in digital photos is reduced by 2 - 3 stops, so that the noise level of the photo shot at ISO 1600 is effectively reduced to ISO 200 - 400 levels

STOIK Noise AutoFix uses sophisticated adaptive algorithms, innovative image representation, and optimal statistic methods to achieve the outstanding noise correction results. The main internal modules of the software are:
· Noise detector is based on Bayesian classifier that was trained to distinguish typical noise patterns from image textures and fine details
· Noise analyzer builds noise profiles and calculates optimal filter parameters according proprietary image quality criteria
· Noise suppression filter is based on multi-resolution image representation and statistical decision-making procedures
· The software includes also automatic multi-resolution smart sharpening filter with halo effect reduction
· The software works in fully automatic mode providing the balance between noise reduction and preservation of image details
· Filter can be easily fine tuned manually to reach best visual quality for particular classes of photos.
· New specific scenes with unusual noise patterns can be easily added to training image set.
