Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for generating a two-dimensional (2D) map of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values for sensor-acquired images. The techniques leverage the use of lookup tables (LUTs) to generate a transformation LUT that functions to map pixel values to SNR values. The transformation LUT may be generated by first generating an intermediate LUT that uses the operating parameters identified with the sensor to map pixel values to light level values. The light level values are then used together with an SNR model that outputs a prediction of electrons identified with a signal portion and a noise portion of images acquired by the sensor to thus map the pixel values to SNR values. The 2D map may be used to improve upon the accuracy of the classification of objects and/or scene characteristics for various applications.
