Computed on neighboring pixel sequences, it indicates the dependancy between neighbors, hence reflects the presence of structure inside an image block. This test is non-parametric, so the performance of the detection is independant of the noise statistical distribution. Once the homogeneous areas are detected, the noise level function, i.e., the function of the noise variance with respect to the image intensities, is estimated as a second order polynomial minimizing the <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image.math.u-bordeaux.fr\/wp-content\/ql-cache\/quicklatex.com-3f31a9220bffec4cedfd8580bb0487c6_l3.png\" class=\"ql-img-inline-formula quicklatex-auto-format\" alt=\"&#92;&#101;&#108;&#108;&#94;&#49;\" title=\"Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com\" height=\"16\" width=\"13\" style=\"vertical-align: -1px;\"\/> error on the statistics of these regions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/csutour\/RNLF\" title=\"Matlab implementation of the noise estimation algorithm \">Matlab implementation of the noise estimation algorithm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related papers:<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; C.
