Abstract

The method of measurement of imaging sensors noise by automatic segmentation of nonuniform targets is analyzed. Modifications to this method, which allows one to obtain unbiased estimation of temporal noise, calculation speed boost and separate measurement of dark and light temporal noises, are proposed. Merely two frames can be used for noise measurement with the modified method. Temporal noise measurement error of the modified method was analytically derived and experimentally verified. Light and dark temporal noises of consumer, video-surveillance, and industrial and scientific cameras were measured using the modified method.
