The different sources of this noise could be due to periodic drift or malfunction of the detector, or due to electronic interference among sensor components, or due to problem in the transmission and recording process. The noise, if present in any part of the image can either degrade or totally mask the true radiometric information contained by the digital image. Hence, noise removal is very essential before any preprocessing or analysis of the image could be done. 2, record 3, English, - image%20noise

[...] Le chatoiement est essentiellement une sorte de bruit qui dégrade la qualité de l'image et peut rendre l'interprétation (visuelle ou numérique) plus difficile. Ainsi, il est généralement préférable de réduire le chatoiement avant l'interprétation et l'analyse des images. Deux techniques permettent de réduire le chatoiement : le traitement multi-visée [et] le filtrage spatial. 2, record 3, French, - bruit%20image
