![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Traditionally, the $SNR$ has been defined as the ratio of the average signal value $\mu_$ even if we have no image. But lets start with the definitions given by Wikipedia (at least for scientific purposes it is still a valuable source of information). ![]() images – it is much easier to visualize the meaning of the signal-to-noise ratio $SNR$.ĭuring my research I found some more or less valuable discussions about the calculation of the $SNR$. For electrical signals measured in voltage it may be hard to exactly imagine what the definition above means. The meaning of SNR in image processingįirst, I would like to get further down to the actual meaning of the $SNR$ in image processing. This sounds logical but also is a bit abstract and may not help you much.īasically when you look at that definition, you already see the problem: You need both, the “actual signal” and the “noise signal” in order to calculate the $SNR$. The $SNR$ is somehow defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power. At that point in time it was basically a theoretical definition. Follow me into the rabbit hole and find out why the solution shown above actually works… SNR = SNR? The initial definition of SNRīefore I decided to write this article, I knew the term $SNR$ basically from my studies in the field of electrical engineering. But for some of you it may just begin :). snr no_star.fitsįor many people this is where the journey ends. Double q = image.variance(0) / image.variance_noise(0) įor the two images above the code gives the following results: ~/snr$. ![]()
