  • Abstract
    Digital images in general, and radiographies in particular, are mainly affected by photon counting noise. In this paper, we provide a method to estimate the gain of the imaging sensor and the variance of the photon counting noise associated to each image grey level. This is useful to multiple scopes, like reverse engineering and denoising.
