Thank you for this study Aurélien As far as I understand, TV and Laplacians are complementary as they detect noise in different regions of the image (noise in sharp edge for Laplacian, noise elsewhere for TV). Though, I do not understand why you multiply the TV and Laplacian results to get the mas

You're welcome ;-) That's true : the multiplication is equivalent to an "AND" operation, the resulting mask has non-zero values where both TV AND Laplacian masks has non-zero values, which - from my tests - is where the real noise is. That is because TV alone is too sensitive : when the image is
