What noise does Wiener filter remove?

It removes the additive noise and inverts the blurring simultaneously. The Wiener filtering is optimal in terms of the mean square error. In other words, it minimizes the overall mean square error in the process of inverse filtering and noise smoothing.

What are the disadvantages of Wiener filter?

From the foregoing discussion of filters that are generalizations of the simple Wiener filter, a major disadvantage is apparent: the power spectra of the random fields to which picture and noise are assumed to belong must be known or estimated.

What does a Wiener filter do?

The Wiener filter can be used to filter out the noise from the corrupted signal to provide an estimate of the underlying signal of interest. The Wiener filter is based on a statistical approach, and a more statistical account of the theory is given in the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator article.

Is Wiener filter a low pass filter?

The Wiener filter is quite effective in producing a high signal-to-noise power (amplitude squared) ratio, and as such is a good low-pass filter in the presence of high-frequency noise.
