Read Noise Calculator

Read Noise Calculator

The Read Noise calculator provides you with a helpful tool which allows you to calculate the read noise of your camera. The read noise is a measure of the uncertainty associated with each image acquisition and is a function of the camera system.


  1. Take the difference between 2 bias images.
  2. Enter the Standard Deviation of the pixels in the image.
  3. Enter the Gain value of the camera (e-/ADU)

If you do not have the gain value for your camera, use our Mean Variance (Gain) Calculator.
