No reference estimation of noise level of digital image is based on harmonic analysis
E. M. Lapshenkov

Full text of article: Russian language.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to development of method for image noise estimation. This method is based on analysis of spectral density power (harmonic analysis) of signal that describing image. Proposed method may be used both for visual quality estimation and for image analysis in machine vision systems.

Key words:
image quality, noise estimation, machine vision.
