A system access a reference frame and temporally adjacent frames. For each portion of the reference image frame, the system calculates a pixel distance value between the portion of the reference image frame and a corresponding portion of each temporally adjacent image frame. If the pixel distance value indicates a potential ghosting artifact, the system computes a set of spatial noise reduction values for the image portion. Otherwise, the system computes a set of temporal noise reduction values for the image portion. The system blends the sets of computed spatial noise reduction values and the sets of computed temporal noise reduction values, and generates a modified reference image frame based on the blended set of noise reduction values.
