Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for image estimation in film-grain noise. The image prior is modeled as non-Gaussian and is incorporated within the UKF frame work using importance sampling. A small carefully chosen deterministic set of sigma points is used to capture the prior and is propagated through film-grain nonlinearity to compute image statistics. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
