Analysis of Image Noise in Multispectral Color Acquisition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of a system for multispectral image capture will be influenced by the imaging application, such as image archiving, vision research, illuminant modification or improved (trichromatic) color reproduction. A key aspect of the system performance is the effect of noise, or error, when acquiring multiple color image records and processing of the data. This research provides an analysis that allows the prediction of the image-noise characteristics of systems for the capture of multispectral images. The effects of both detector noise and image processing quantization on the color information are considered, as is the correlation between the errors in the component signals.

Color Accuracy and Noise Analysis in Multispectral HDR Imaging
Two promising technologies have been developed to improve image acquisition, namely high dynamic range (HDR) and multispectral imaging. In HDR imaging, several RGB images acquired with different exposures are combined into one image with greater dynamic range. This reduces saturated and underexposed image areas and improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the image. On the other hand, multis...
متن کاملQuantization in Multispectral Color Image Acquisition
For applications where colorimetric information is insufficient to characterize an input scene or document, multispectral image capture (i.e. for more than three records) has been suggested. Experimental cameras have been described, as have the results of signal processing to extract useful spectral and colorimetric information. Previous reports have addressed both system accuracy and precision...
متن کاملA Study on the Impact of Spectral Characteristics of Filters on Multispectral Image Acquisition
In every aspect, filter design plays an important role in an image acquisition system based on a single image sensor and a colour filter array (CFA) mounted onto the sensor. Complementary CFAs are used by some colour cameras in the interest of higher sensitivity, which motivated us to employ filters of wide pass bands in the effort to adapt CFA for multispectral image acquisition. In this conte...

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in multispectral imaging hardware. Among many other applications is the color-correct reproduction of materials. In this paper, we aim at circumventing the limitations of most devices, namely extensive acquisition times for acceptable signal-to-noise-ratios. For this purpose we propose a novel approach to spectral imaging that combines high-...
متن کاملMultispectral image capture using a tunable filter
In this article we describe the experimental setup of a multispectral image acquisition system consisting of a professional monochrome CCD camera and a tunable filter in which the spectral transmittance can be controlled electronically. We have performed a spectral characterisation of the acquisition system taking into account the acquisition noise. To convert the camera output signals to devic...
