Method of analyzing and/or processing an image

Abstract

A method of processing a starting image, to obtain a final image of better quality, the method comprising the following steps: a) establishing a predefined quality level and/or a predefined processing time for the final image; b) computation information relating to said starting image; c) analyzing said starting image by means of said computed information; d) determining whether said information is sufficient to obtain said predefined quality level for said final image; e) if the step d) determines that the information is sufficient and/or if processing time is exhausted, reducing the noise of said starting image to obtain said final image; and f) if the step d) determines that the information is insufficient and/or processing time is not exhausted, refining the computation in the step b).
