An image with salt-and-pepper noise. Salt-and-pepper noise, also known as impulse noise, is a form of noise sometimes seen on digital images.For black-and-white or grayscale images, is presents as sparsely occurring white and black pixels, giving the appearance of an image sprinkled with salt and pepper.
Image noise can also originate in film grain and in the unavoidable shot noise of an ideal photon detector. Image noise is an undesirable by-product of image capture that obscures the desired information. Typically the term “image noise” is used to refer to noise in 2D images, not 3D images.
The central example, and often what is meant by "ringing artifacts", is the ideal low-pass filter, the sinc filter. This has an oscillatory impulse response function, as illustrated above, and the step response – its integral, the sine integral – thus also features oscillations, as illustrated at right.
Burst noise is a type of electronic noise that occurs in semiconductors and ultra-thin gate oxide films. [1] It is also called random telegraph noise ( RTN ), popcorn noise , impulse noise , bi-stable noise , or random telegraph signal ( RTS ) noise.
Different types of noise are generated by different devices and different processes. Thermal noise is unavoidable at non-zero temperature (see fluctuation-dissipation theorem), while other types depend mostly on device type (such as shot noise, [1] [3] which needs a steep potential barrier) or manufacturing quality and semiconductor defects, such as conductance fluctuations, including 1/f noise.
Almost every technique and device for signal processing has some connection to noise. Some random examples are: Noise shaping; Antenna analyzer or noise bridge, used to measure the efficiency of antennas; Noise gate; Noise generator, a circuit that produces a random electrical signal; Radio noise source used to calibrate radiotelescopes
Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal. Noise reduction techniques exist for audio and images. Noise reduction algorithms may distort the signal to some degree. Noise rejection is the ability of a circuit to isolate an undesired signal component from the desired signal component, as with common-mode rejection ratio.
The regularization parameter plays a critical role in the denoising process. When =, there is no smoothing and the result is the same as minimizing the sum of squares.As , however, the total variation term plays an increasingly strong role, which forces the result to have smaller total variation, at the expense of being less like the input (noisy) signal.
