A noise reduction apparatus with simultaneous processing for allowing Simultaneous
processing of image signals of a portion containing a noise processing object pixel
to be inputted, wherein the image signals are existing at Spatially different locations
or the image signals are contained in fields or frames at different times. A filtering
is performed by low pass filter. A noise component extractor extracts noise components
based upon outputs of the filter operation and noise attenuation means of attenuating
noise using outputs of the noise components extraction means with respect to the
noise processing object pixel within the outputs of the simultaneous processing means.
