ABSTRACT:
Estimating spatial noise characteristics associated with an image acquired from an unknown digital image acquisition device is accomplished by a method, or system, which: provides predetermined default spatial noise characteristic information of the unknown digital image acquisition device; gathers user information related to the spatial noise characteristics of the unknown digital image acquisition device; gathers, from the acquired image, image data related to the spatial noise characteristics of the unknown digital image acquisition device; generates replacement data in response to the user information and the image data; and updates the predetermined default spatial noise characteristic information with the replacement data.
