Abstract

La présente invention concerne un moyen de stockage (81) qui accumule de multiples lignes de pixels reçues dans des unités de ligne. Un premier moyen de transformée en ondelettes (82) lit les multiples lignes de pixels stockées dans le moyen de stockage (81), réalise une transformée en ondelettes avec la même base de temps sur chacune des multiples lignes, et génère de multiples premières composantes à haute fréquence et de multiples premières composantes à basse fréquence. Un premier moyen de transformée en ondelettes inverse (86) réalise une transformée en ondelettes inverse sur la base d'une deuxième composante à basse fréquence et d'une deuxième composante à haute fréquence pour laquelle une composante de bruit a été diminuée, et génère un premier signal de transformée inverse. Un deuxième moyen de transformée en ondelettes inverse (87) réalise une transformée en ondelettes inverse sur la base du premier signal de transformée inverse et des multiples premières composantes à haute fréquence pour lesquelles une composante de bruit a été diminuée, et génère un deuxième signal de transformée inverse.
