Description: In this paper, we focus on the problem of automatic noise parameter estimation for additive and multi-
plicative models and propose a simple and novel method to this end. Specifically we show that if the
image to work with has a sufficiently great amount of low-variability areas (which turns out to be a typ-
ical feature in most images), the variance of noise (if additive) can be estimated as the mode of the dis-
tribution of local variances in the image and the coefficient of variation of noise (if multiplicative) can be
estimated as the mode of the distribution of local estimates of the coefficient of variation. Additionally, a
model for the sample variance distribution for an image plus noise is proposed and studied. Experiments
show the goodness of the proposed method, specially in recursive or iterative filtering methods.
