Hysteresis in image processing algorithms

A method and system that utilizes hysteresis in image processing algorithms to minimize interframe noise in video frames is provided. The method includes receiving a video frame and determining a measurement in the video frame, wherein the measurement is associated with an image control feature. The method also includes providing a target value and a tolerance, and calculating an error value using the measurement and the target value. The method further includes comparing the error value to the tolerance, and in response to the error value being greater than the tolerance, adjusting the image control feature. The system includes a video frame stored in a storage medium and a module coupled to the storage medium. The module is operable to determine a measurement in the video frame, wherein the measurement is associated with an image control feature. The module is also operable to calculate an error value using the measurement and a target value, and compare the error value to a tolerance. In response to the error value being greater than the tolerance, the module is further operable to adjust the image control feature.
