Noise From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article is about noise as in sound. For other uses, see Noise (disambiguation) In common use, the word noise means unwanted sound or noise pollution . In electronics noise can refer to the electronic signal corresponding to acoustic noise (in an audio system) or the electronic signal corresponding to the (visual) noise commonly seen as ' snow ' on a degraded television or video image. In signal processing or computing it can be considered data without meaning; that is, data that is not being used to transmit a signal , but is simply produced as an unwanted by-product of other activities. In Information Theory , however, noise is still considered to be information . In a broader sense, film grain or even advertisements in web pages can be considered noise. Noise can block, distort, or change the meaning of a message in both human and electronic communication. In many of these areas, the special case of thermal noise arises, which sets a fundamental lower limit to what can be measured or signaled and is related to basic physical processes at the molecular level described by well known simple formulae.

Thus, a loud activity may be referred to as

menuurlprefix=''; Latest News Reviews / Previews Camera Database Timeline ... Digital Imaging : Noise Noise By Vincent Bockaert The Cause: Sensor Noise Each pixel in a camera sensor contains one or more light sensitive photodiodes which convert the incoming light (photons) into an electrical signal which is processed into the color value of the pixel in the final image. If the same pixel would be exposed several times by the same amount of light, the resulting color values would not be identical but have small statistical variations, called "noise". Even without incoming light, the electrical activity of the sensor itself will generate some signal, the equivalent of the background hiss of audio equipment which is switched on without playing any music. This additional signal is "noisy" because it varies per pixel (and over time) and increases with the temperature, and will add to the overall image noise. It is called the "noise floor". The output of a pixel has to be larger than the noise floor in order to be significant (i.e. to be distinguishable from noise). The Effect: Image Noise Noise in digital images is most visible in uniform surfaces (such as blue skies and shadows) as monochromatic grain, similar to film grain (luminance noise) and/or as colored waves (color noise). As mentioned earlier, noise increases with temperature. It also increases with

8. Noise() \ Language (API) \ Processing 1.0 (BETA) Perlin noise is a random sequence generator producing a more natural ordered, harmonic succession of numbers compared to the standard random() function. http://processing.org/reference/noise_.html

Search processing.org: Cover Exhibition Learning Reference ... Changes Reference for Processing (BETA) version 0135+. If you have a previous version, use the reference included with your software. If you see any errors or have any comments, let us know Name Examples Description Returns the Perlin noise value at specified coordinates. Perlin noise is a random sequence generator producing a more natural ordered, harmonic succession of numbers compared to the standard function. It was invented by Ken Perlin in the 1980s and been used since in graphical applications to produce procedural textures, natural motion, shapes, terrains etc. The main difference to the function is that Perlin noise is defined in an infinite n-dimensional space where each pair of coordinates corresponds to a fixed semi-random value (fixed only for the lifespan of the program). The resulting value will always be between 0.0 and 1.0. Processing can compute 1D, 2D and 3D noise, depending on the number of coordinates given. The noise value can be animated by moving through the noise space as demonstrated in the example above. The 2nd and 3rd dimension can also be interpreted as time. The actual noise is structured similar to an audio signal, in respect to the function's use of frequencies. Similar to the concept of harmonics in physics, perlin noise is computed over several octaves which are added together for the final result.

Ohio State University Fact Sheet Community Development 700 Ackerman Road, Suite 235, Columbus, OH 43202-1578 Noise CDFS-190-98 Jacqueline LaMuth Noise is defined as unwanted sound. Noise is an inescapable part of everyday life - the television, a plane flying overhead, a faulty muffler on the passing car, dogs barking, children laughing. Mild noise can be annoying; excessive noise can destroy a person's hearing. People do not easily become accustomed to noise. The slightest unwanted sound can become very annoying if it continues for any length of time. While the continuous hum of a busy freeway may be ignored by some nearby residents, others will never be able to ignore it and increasingly will find it irritating. How Humans Hear The visible part of the ears are sound gathering scoops that guide sound waves along a one-inch canal which acts as a resonating chamber. When they reach the eardrum, they become vibrations. These vibrations are picked up in the middle ear by three tiny linked ear bones and are mechanically passed deeper to the inner ear where hair cells translate them into electrochemical impulses. The auditory part of the brain interprets this stimulus and decides how far away it is, where it is, and what it is. What The Ears Hear Sound is the result of waves compressed atmospheric particles traveling through the air. The waves are created when atmospheric particles alternately are squeezed closer together than normal, then pulled farther apart than normal. Sound waves move outward from the vibrating source and weaken as they travel. They may be reflected or bent by obstacles so the sound that reaches the ear may be different from the sound that was originally generated.

By Justin Davidson Justin.Davidson@nymag.com Well, it took three replacement Tristans (one of whom rolled off the stage) a pair of nights that required two Isoldes, and countless doses of Sudafed, but Ben Heppner and Deborah Voigt finally made it from ship’s deck to "Liebestod" together. I had the good fortune to be at the Met last night, and I can’t remember a more consistently mesmerizing performance of Tristan und Isolde . Heppner has lost a bit of the superhero ease he once had, but with his warm, elastic voice and controlled fervor, he insinuated himself so thoroughly into the role that it became hard to imagine wanting to hear it any other way. Perhaps to show what fine form she was in, Voigt hammered the odd high note with a little more gusto than strictly necessary, but you can’t begrudge her the pleasure she takes in producing that fine, rich blang!
