Noise

Encord Computer Vision Glossary

Noise

Noise is a term used to describe unwanted or irrelevant information in an image or video. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including sensor noise, compression artifacts, and environmental factors such as lighting conditions and reflections. Noise can significantly impact the quality and clarity of an image or video, and can make it more difficult to accurately analyze or interpret the content of the image.

There are several approaches that can be used to reduce or remove noise from images or videos, including image denoising algorithms and noise reduction techniques. Image denoising algorithms are designed to remove noise from an image by identifying and filtering out the noise components, while noise reduction techniques involve applying filters or transformations to the image to reduce the overall level of noise.

Noise reduction is a crucial step in many image processing and analysis jobs in the field of computer vision since it can increase the precision and dependability of the outcomes. It is especially crucial in situations where the image or video contains crucial information that needs to be precisely identified or evaluated, such as in surveillance or medical image analysis applications.

Overall, noise is a frequent problem in images and videos, and it can seriously degrade the content's quality and clarity. The quality and dependability of image analysis and interpretation jobs can be improved by using a variety of methods to decrease or remove noise.
