Signal to Noise Calculator
Signal to Noise Calculator
The Signal to Noise Ratio calculator provides you with a helpful tool which allows you to calculate the SNR of your camera set up. SNR characterizes the quality of a measurement. It is necessary to ensure that the signal level relative to noise is adequate to allow capture of accurate image information.
- Enter the Gain value for your camera. If you do not have it, please use the Mean Variance (Gain) calculator.
- Enter the grey level values (275ADU's) for your signal.
- Enter the Read Noise for your camera. If you do not have it, please use the Read Noise calculator above.
- Enter the dark current value for your camera. This is normally available on the data sheet provided to you with the camera or on the Manufacturer's website.
- Enter the exposure time of image.
- This will return with
- The number of electrons in your signal
- The noise caused by dark current
- Total noise
- Signal to Noise Ratio
- Noise in grey scale values (ADU's)
