noise removal

Eliminating unwanted sounds

Noise removal is the process of eliminating unwanted interference from a signal, image, or recording.

In audio, this means filtering out hiss, hum, or background sounds: The software's noise removal cleaned up the old vinyl recording.

In photography and video, noise removal reduces the grain or speckling that appears in low-light images.

The challenge is removing noise without degrading the underlying content.
