Nonlocal means (NLM) and its variant filtering methods such as nonlocal means-average (NLM-av), nonlocal meanslocal polynomial regression (NLM-LPR), and nonlocal means-shape adaptive patches (NLM-SAP) for speckle noise reduction in digital speckle pattern interferometric (DSPI) fringes are presented. The performance of these filtering methods is appraised by several criteria such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), the quality index (Q), and the edge preservation index (EPI). The obtained filtering results corroborate the effectiveness of NLM and its variant filtering methods for speckle noise reduction in DSPI fringes.
