A method and apparatus for noise level estimation in a digital video signal, the apparatus including a pixel activity detector that produces a mean pixel activity level for each picture in the video signal, a contrast analyzer that produces a contrast activity level for each picture and a noise level calculator that is coupled to the activity detector and contrast analyzer to produce an estimated noise level by offsetting the contrast activity level from accumulated output of the activity detector.
