Image denoising using multiple motion compensated images.

The five images used for blending

Here is a method for reducing noise in a images by using multiple shots taken in sequence and blending them together. The key to this method is each shot is motion compensated to match a reference shot, so modest amount of subject or camera movement have little affect the outcome. That is, this method does not require a tripod, or a perfectly still subject.

I’ll have a bunch of these with me when I am out this weekend. If you want one just ask me.They are $10 each. I’m not sure this is the best plan because it might get lost. Anybody got any better ideas for me to get them to you?
