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 ]
Industrial noise control is a subset of interior architectural control of noise, with emphasis on specific methods of sound isolation from industrial machinery and for protection of workers at their task stations. Sound masking is the active addition of noise to reduce the annoyance of certain sounds, the opposite of soundproofing.
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.
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.
It is often possible to reduce the noise by controlling the environment. Internal electronic noise of measurement systems can be reduced through the use of low-noise amplifiers. When the characteristics of the noise are known and are different from the signal, it is possible to use a filter to reduce the noise.
Control at the source is the most cost-effective way of providing noise control. Noise control engineering applied to cars and trucks is known as noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Other techniques to reduce product noise include vibration isolation , application of acoustic absorbent and acoustic enclosures.
Recently, the term has been extended to other radio frequency (RF) and sonar anechoic chambers, which eliminate reflection and external noise caused by electromagnetic waves. Anechoic chambers range from small compartments the size of household microwave ovens to ones as large as aircraft hangars. The size of the chamber depends on the size of ...
ISO 15739:2003, Photography – Electronic still-picture imaging – Noise measurements: specifies methods for measuring and reporting the noise versus signal level and dynamic range of electronic still-picture cameras. It applies to both monochrome and colour electronic still-picture cameras.
