heya,

thanks for testing, your squared intensity looks better indeed.

maybe the noise in that image would need an additional threshold on
sharpness, depending on iso/noise sigma from our noise profiles. fwiw i
didn't see any problem with my camera up to iso 6400. maybe it's because
your input is a processed image?
