new wavelets noise reduction tool under construction for 1.0.0 release…

I'm currently working on a new tool for Image Editor and Batch Queue Manager to perform camera sensor noise using Wavelets. The tool works into YCrCB color space and support 16 bits color depth.

The tool core code is based on Gimp Wavelets De-noise tool. I ported code to C++/Qt4 and fixed some memory management bugs and improved a little bit the processing loop to be be faster.

Code is not yet finalized, especially in settings view. Users must be able to adjust noise removal per channel (Luminosity or Chrominance). For the moment same settings is applied to all channels at the same time. But it's just a question of time... as usual...)

Old Noise Reduction tool is removed from digiKam now. This one based on DCamNoise2 code is really complicated to handle : too much settings to adjust. The new one is really simple and work very well. I will post a more complete entry in my blog later, when tool will be finalized...
