An adaptive local noise reduction filter works by modifying each pixel value based on the statistical properties of its local neighborhood rather than applying a fixed operation over the entire image. The basic idea is to reduce noise while preserving important image details such as edges and fine structures, which are often blurred by non-adaptive smoothing filters. For each pixel at location ((x,y)), a small window of size (m \times n) centered on that pixel is considered. Within this window, the local mean (\mu_L) and local variance (\sigma_L^2) of the gray levels are computed. These local statistics provide information about whether the region is relatively smooth or contains significant detail. The noisy image is assumed to be corrupted by additive noise with a known or estimated noise variance (\sigma_n^2), which is usually constant over the image. The restored
