estimate_noise — 2D features op

Data kinds: imagefeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "estimate_noise", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: estimate_noise (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

Robustly estimates the standard deviation σ of additive noise (`_noise_sigma: converts the MAD of the Laplacian response to a Gaussian-equivalent scale, then divides by the noise gain sqrt(20) of the 5-point Laplacian kernel). Designed to be insensitive to edge-derived outliers and pick up only the noise in flat areas (a bug in the old implementation, where "σ had no proper unit and saturated to 1.0 above σ≈0.08," was fixed on 2026-09-02 — see the _noise_sigma docstring for details). Corresponds to HALCON's estimate_noise` (Estimate the image noise from a single image.).
