Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for obtaining a noise level curve of an image sensor, relates to the technical field of image processing, and aims to provide a method and system for estimating a noise level curve of an image sensor with simple calculation and high accuracy. Technical gist of the present invention: decompose the color image into a single-channel grayscale image to obtain grayscale images of different color channels; sequentially process the three grayscale images to obtain the sensor noise level curve of each grayscale image: Gray histogram statistics; calculate the credible gray interval scale factor of the histogram; calibrate the credible gray interval; divide the gray image into blocks; get the variance and mean of the credible image block; get the mean and variance of the endpoints; The mean and variance pairs are points on the curve, and the noise level curve of the grayscale image sensor is obtained by using the segmented cubic Hermite interpolation algorithm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to an acquisition method for acquiring a noise level curve of an image sensor. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the popularization of digital cameras and mobile phones with cameras, human beings have entered the era of photography for all. The image sensors commonly used in cameras, such as CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensors, will generate a large amount of random noise during operation. This noise is not simple Gaussian white noise AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise), but a random noise (Signal Dependent Noise) that depends heavily on signal strength. [0003] Currently, there are two types of methods for estimating sensor noise curves using any single image obtained: noise estimation methods based on smooth image blocks and estimation methods based on Bayesian inference. [0004] Among them, the noi...
