Amplifier noise is a major part of the "read noise" of an image sensor, that is, of the constant noise level in dark areas of the image. [4] In color cameras where more amplification is used in the blue color channel than in the green or red channel, there can be more noise in the blue channel. [ 5 ]
An acoustic camera (or noise camera) is an imaging device used to locate sound sources and to characterize them. It consists of a group of microphones, also called a microphone array , from which signals are simultaneously collected and processed to form a representation of the location of the sound sources.
The term "fixed pattern noise" usually refers to two parameters. [1] One is the dark signal non-uniformity (DSNU), which is the offset from the average across the imaging array at a particular setting (temperature, integration time) but no external illumination and the photo response non-uniformity (PRNU), which describes the gain or ratio ...
Photo response non-uniformity, pixel response non-uniformity, or PRNU, is a form of fixed-pattern noise related to digital image sensors, as used in cameras and optical instruments. Both CCD and CMOS sensors are two-dimensional arrays of photosensitive cells, each broadly corresponding to an image pixel. Due to the non-uniformity of image ...
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used in imaging to characterize image quality.The sensitivity of a (digital or film) imaging system is typically described in the terms of the signal level that yields a threshold level of SNR.
Shot noise or Poisson noise is a type of noise which can be modeled by a Poisson process. In electronics shot noise originates from the discrete nature of electric charge . Shot noise also occurs in photon counting in optical devices, where shot noise is associated with the particle nature of light.

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.
