Abstract: It is seen that the performance of a video codec drastically degrades for noisy sources. In this paper, we propose a novel and easy-to-implement de-noising filter, integrated within the motion estimation and motion compensation blocks of an H.264 video encoder, to reduce impulse noise from video. Performance of our proposed filter is compared with a two-pass adaptive median filter(\cite{2}) that uses spatial information of noise. Results are obtained for several video sequences, contaminated with different levels of additive random noise, thus establishing the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
