Real-time Streaming Video Denoising with Bidirectional Buffers

Video streams are delivered continuously to save the cost of storage and device memory. Real-time denoising algorithms are typically adopted on the user device to remove the noise involved during the shooting and transmission of video streams. However, sliding-window-based methods feed multiple input frames for a single output and lack computation efficiency. Recent multi-output inference works propagate the bidirectional temporal feature with a parallel or recurrent framework, which either suffers from performance drops on the temporal edges of clips or can not achieve online inference. In this paper, we propose a Bidirectional Streaming Video Denoising (BSVD) framework, to achieve high-fidelity real-time denoising for streaming videos with both past and future temporal receptive fields. The bidirectional temporal fusion for online inference is considered not applicable in the MoViNet. However, we introduce a novel Bidirectional Buffer Block as the core module of our BSVD, which makes it possible during our pipeline-style inference. In addition, our method is concise and flexible to be utilized in both non-blind and blind video denoising. We compare our model with various state-of-the-art video denoising models qualitatively and quantitatively on synthetic and real noise. Our method outperforms previous methods in terms of restoration fidelity and runtime. Our source code is publicly available at https://github.com/ChenyangQiQi/BSVD

Code

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Code Syntology ran Syntology

3 samples harvested; 3 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 0 have no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-25; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.

Licence: 0 of the 3 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from chenyangqiqi/bsvd. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
