Re: Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

Hi everyone,

There's a MATLAB function called 'wiener2' that filters a 2D image and also
estimates the additive noise power, which is kind of a signal-to-noise
ratio.

Does anyone in this list know if there is an ImageJ (or even a Java)
implementation of this filter and that also gives that sort of estimation?

Thank you all very much.
