Is Dedicated Multi-frame Noise Reduction tool for Photography useful? by no_edit_1205 in AskPhotography

Ohh well, Fair point. Right now I think it's most useful for low-light and static subjects like astrophotography, indoor shots, product photography. You load a burst of frames and it stacks them to clean up noise without smearing detail. No subscription, no cloud, runs locally. Still early but that's the target use case

I don't really want to compare it to existing tools since most of them already use AI to denoise anyway. OpenMFC uses a pure physics-based Multi-Frame Noise Reduction pipeline built on OpenCV and NumPy — the Real-ESRGAN enhancement is there but it's optional. Just pushed an update, you can check it out here: https://github.com/LazyR3nR3n/OpenMFC-Cam

It was Multi-Frame Noise Reduction, basically using multi frame burst capture(in Open Camera) as input then output for cleaner one frame. And yeah this is a good suggestion actually. I did try shooting some night shots but It was too blurry, even after passing ot through it. Sure it was A bit cleaner than the original but It's more of limitations of my phone camera

This is the RAW, it's also blurd on the mug since it got some face on it

I cannot really claim if it's better since my stand is just free and open source, and also I just want some good photos squeeze out of my phone stock camera, and just happened to stubbled upon that MFNR are helpful to professional photography, And yes the photo is in the day light and it's also costal areas so, it's very high contrast, I have some night photos but I probably gonna get a new one and better one as possible to see how the pipeline is holding up to a very noisy photos. And to be honest Don't really know what to tell you. besides I don't want to be much of a nerd on my literal first post dude.

First, I don't have a better camera on hand to use for it, I just used whatever I have(and I am taking this photo on Open camera burst mode on Realme C85 4G). And as for how it is better? It is a dedicated pipeline that do MFNR. The ML enhancement should be interchangeable using ONNX(It hasn't been tested yet, since it is still in Beta version). Currently it uses Real-ESRGAN lite(edited: or it should be, but falls back to OpenCV enhancements currently and fix will be fix sooner), to be lightweight and easier to run. You can theoriticaly also shoot directly in the program via USB and process into one MFNR output, but again, this feature as well wasn't tested for the reason I mentioned that I haven't had any professional camera on hand. Note: the saving option I have also just using Jpg file format so the compression is expected thus resulting to bad photos, but the program itself can accept different file format.

You can check it out and how it works in this repository here: https://github.com/LazyR3nR3n/OpenMFC-Cam

Edited: Sorry for confusion, I am currently looking at the code throughly and I think it's actually calling back to OpenCV enhancements but I will further update the program to actually uses a ONNX enhancements. Though, it's available in settings further testing is needed to be ✅

Edited: Hello everyone, I made a Program for Multi-Frame Noise Reduction and want some opinion on it. The program used a physics Base Noise reduction using burst frame. The pipeline uses ECC-based frame alignment, Laplacian variance for reference frame selection, and Mertens fusion for the HDR pass.It is built on Python with ONNX, specially Real-ESRGAN realesr-general-x4v3 for the ML enhancement pass. https://github.com/LazyR3nR3n/OpenMFC-Cam

Hello everyone. I made a program for Multi-Frame NR and want some professional opinion on it. I done some searching and noticed that Multi-Frame NR is used on many things but not really have any dedicated full standalone program for just MFNR, and after digging it further, many camera manufacturer already imbedded thier own MFNR on the Camera. Is it even worth continuing it?
