Cameras play the important role in computer vision of transforming the signal of interest in the 3-D world into the image that is processed by algorithms. In reference [1], we carefully analyze the properties of CCD cameras from the perspective of computer vision. This analysis forms the basis of methods for noise estimation and radiometric calibration. These methods lead directly to an algorithm that can be used to separate image variance due to camera noise from image variance due to variation in the scene.
