Abstract
The invention relates to a computer image processing and visual detecting genecology. In order to provide a method which can exactly estimate the noise function of different CCD (charge coupled device) images and further can not increase the computing complexity, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a signal-correlated noise estimating method for an image sensor comprises the following steps of: searching smooth blocks of an image by adopting a high pass operator-based image structure analyzer; sampling the blocks according to the arrangement mode of CFA (colorful filter array), to obtain a set which corresponds to each gray value, and computing the mean value and variance of the set, to obtain a set of noise estimating sample points; according the smoothness degree of the set of the image block of each sample point, computing the reliability of the sample point; and finally in combination with the sample points, the reliability of the sample points and the base obtained by using PCA (principal component analysis) in advance, rebuilding a noise horizontal curve by a sparse representation technology. The method is mainly used for processing the image.
