Abstract
A noise eliminator is provided which can highly compress and store dark current noise components while maintaining characteristics, including many high frequency components. A noise distribution analysis sectiondetermines the magnitude distribution of dark current noise components of at least some pixels, and then computes the threshold and typical values for quantization based on this distribution. A quantization sectionquantizes the dark current noise components based on the computed threshold value, and a memorystores the quantized dark current noise components. An inverse quantization sectioninversely quantizes the quantized dark current noise components stored in the memorywith reference to the typical value computed by the noise distribution analysis section. The inversely quantized dark current noise components are supplied to a subtraction section, and the subtraction sectionsubtracts the inversely quantized dark current noise components from an image signal.
