"""
Perform non-local means denoising on 2-D or 3-D grayscale images, and
2-D RGB images.
Parameters
----------
image : 2D or 3D ndarray
Input image to be denoised, which can be 2D or 3D, and grayscale
or RGB (for 2D images only, see ``multichannel`` parameter).
patch_size : int, optional
Size of patches used for denoising.
patch_distance : int, optional
Maximal distance in pixels where to search patches used for denoising.
h : float, optional
Cut-off distance (in gray levels). The higher h, the more permissive
one is in accepting patches. A higher h results in a smoother image,
at the expense of blurring features. For a Gaussian noise of standard
deviation sigma, a rule of thumb is to choose the value of h to be
sigma of slightly less.
multichannel : bool, optional
Whether the last axis of the image is to be interpreted as multiple
channels or another spatial dimension. Set to ``False`` for 3-D images.
fast_mode : bool, optional
If True (default value), a fast version of the non-local means
algorithm is used. If False, the original version of non-local means is
used. See the Notes section for more details about the algorithms.
Returns
-------
result : ndarray
Denoised image, of same shape as `image`.
Notes
-----
The non-local means algorithm is well suited for denoising images with
specific textures. The principle of the algorithm is to average the value
of a given pixel with values of other pixels in a limited neighbourhood,
provided that the *patches* centered on the other pixels are similar enough
to the patch centered on the pixel of interest.
In the original version of the algorithm [1]_, corresponding to
``fast=False``, the computational complexity is
image.size * patch_size ** image.ndim * patch_distance ** image.ndim
Hence, changing the size of patches or their maximal distance has a
strong effect on computing times, especially for 3-D images.
However, the default behavior corresponds to ``fast_mode=True``, for which
another version of non-local means [2]_ is used, corresponding to a
complexity of
image.size * patch_distance ** image.ndim
The computing time depends only weakly on the patch size, thanks to
the computation of the integral of patches distances for a given
shift, that reduces the number of operations [1]_. Therefore, this
algorithm executes faster than the classic algorith
(``fast_mode=False``), at the expense of using twice as much memory.
Compared to the classic algorithm, all pixels of a patch contribute
to the distance to another patch with the same weight, no matter
their distance to the center of the patch. This coarser computation
of the distance can result in a slightly poorer denoising
performance. Moreover, for small images (images with a linear size
that is only a few times the patch size), the classic algorithm can
be faster due to boundary effects.
The image is padded using the `reflect` mode of `skimage.util.pad`
before denoising.
