Noise Considerations in Digital Image Processing Hardware

  • Chapter
Picture Processing and Digital Filtering

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 6))

Abstract

The limiting factor in image processing is noise. Therefore, in the design of any imaging system, one must consider closely the noise performance of the system, especially in the manner in which the noise interacts with the visual appearance of the picture and in which it perturbs the subsequent digital processing.
