A method and system for analog video noise detection are provided. A motion metric (MM) value may be determined for pixels in a video image. The MM values may be collected and accumulated for a number of noise level intervals to determine average noise levels for each interval. An early-exit algorithm...http://www.google.com.au/patents/US8040437?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US8040437 - Method and system for analog video noise detection
