Poisson Control

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Problem Digital camera photograph is noisy.

Discussion This noise is generally modeled as a summation of Gaussian noise, constant “dark noise”, and Poisson noise. In situations where Poisson noise is the limiting factor, point process modeling of noise as spatial Poisson process can be used to estimate the signal.

Under these assumptions it comes down to: smooth over large areas when signal intensity is high, small areas when it’s low.

What more can the Poisson model yield?
