How to add Gaussian noise to an image?

How to add a certain amount of Gaussian noise to the image in python? Do I need to convert somehow the values of the image to double type or something else?

Also, I have doubts about measuring the level of noise in the image. One adds it according to the dB (decibels) while other considers the variance. How it is related and how should I measure the noise level?

How do I add Gaussian noise to an image in R?

For adding Gaussian noise we need to provide mode as gaussian with a mean of 0 and var (variance) of 0.05. We also clip the values by giving clip=True. It is important to clip the values of the resulting gauss_img tensor. This will make all the values between 0.0 and 1.0 avoiding all weird artifacts in the images.

How do I add noise to a photo?

Here’s how you can add noise to photos: Simply upload an image in PNG or JPG format or drag and drop it in the editor. Click on the Image Effects & Filters tool on the top toolbar of the editor. Adjust the Noise slider under Effects & Filters to add as much noise as you like to your image.

What is the difference between J = imnoise (i'gaussian') and var_Gauss?

J = imnoise (I,'gaussian') adds zero-mean, Gaussian white noise with variance of 0.01 to grayscale image I. J = imnoise (I,'gaussian',m) adds Gaussian white noise with mean m and variance of 0.01. J = imnoise (I,'gaussian',m,var_gauss) adds Gaussian white noise with mean m and variance var_gauss.

How do I add white noise to a grayscale image?

J = imnoise(I,'gaussian') adds zero-mean, Gaussian white noise with variance of 0.01 to grayscale image I. You optionally can add noise using a GPU (requires Parallel Computing Toolbox™). J = imnoise(I,'gaussian',m) adds Gaussian white noise with mean m and variance of 0.01.

You can use the random_noise function in scikit-image. It goes something like this:

skimage.util.random_noise(image, mode='gaussian', seed=None, clip=True, **kwargs)

You can read more about it here: http://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/api/skimage.util.html#random-noise
