Gaussian Noise

[JAMES, gregory (SANDWELL AND WEST BIRMINGHAM HOSPITALS NHS TRUST)]

Dear ImageJ community,


Can anyone give me the details of how the Gaussian noise is calculated with 'Process > Noise > Add Specified Noise...'? Can anyone reference a paper or give me the basic principle?


I'm asking because I want to add Gaussian noise to an array of numbers. I would prefer not to export my data to another platform e.g. Excel or R. If I know the details of how the Gaussian noise is added in an image then I could have a go at writing an algorithm that will do this to an array of numbers. Failing that, I suppose I could do the reverse and turn my array of numbers into an image - then use 'Process > Noise > Add Specified Noise...'.


I welcome your thoughts or comments,


Thanks,


Greg.

Good day Greg,

I'm not perfectly sure but most probable the Java approach is used:

Random ran = new Random();
double gRan = ran.nextGaussian();

For ImageJ you can find the Java method here:

HTH a bit

Hi Greg, search for "noise" in these files, depending what type of image you
are adding noise to:

https://github.com/imagej/imagej1/blob/master/ij/process/ShortProcessor.java
https://github.com/imagej/imagej1/blob/master/ij/process/FloatProcessor.java
https://github.com/imagej/imagej1/blob/master/ij/process/ByteProcessor.java

Cheers

Gabriel
