Hi Andreas

This is currently paused. I may come back to this in some time ;-)
I have found various ways to improved denoising performance without
requiring this, that's why I have not worked on this since a few months.

Basically, currently my priority is now to improve denoiseprofile.
For instance, you may have noticed the coarse grain slider for non local
means in master.
I have some other changes ongoing, you can test some of them on
branch rawfiner-denoise-profile-updates on my git
https://github.com/rawfiner/darktable/tree/rawfiner-denoise-profile-updates
Basically I use it like this :
- I put the patch size to 4
- I increase the coarse grain noise slider until no very coarse chroma
noise remains (some fine grain chrominance noise can remain)
- then I increase the details slider to my taste
- I fix the remaining chroma noise with the equalizer
Note that with these changes, I am mostly using only one instance of
denoiseprofile, without any particular blending mode.
It works very well for medium and high iso, but is not perfect for very
high iso. In such case, it can be combined with denoise bilateral to get
nice results.

I am also currently working on improving the anscombe transform which is
associated with the profile to get closer to our goal to have a variance of
1 everywhere (currently we have some big spike above 1 in the shadows,
which is a problem as shadows are usually what we want to denoise the most)

Cheers,
rawfiner
