An apparatus for and a method of adaptively processing video signals based
on noise states. The method includes, a memory device that stores a
look-up table in which optimal filter tap coefficients corresponding to a
number of noise levels are registered; a noise measurement unit that
obtains a noise measurement from input video signals during a
predetermined period; a filter coefficient determination unit that
selects optimal filter tap coefficients from the memory based on the
noise measurement obtained by the noise measurement unit; a noise
suppression filter that employs the optimal filter tap coefficients
selected by the filter coefficient determination unit to filter and
remove noise from the input video signals; and a video signal processor
that performs video signal processing on the result output by the noise
suppression filter.
