How to add Noise to Color Image - Opencv

Question

I\'m trying to to add noise to an Image & then Denoise it to test my DeNoising algorithm! So for benchmark i\'m referring this Online Test samples. I\'m trying to replic

Answer 1

Thank you @Andrey Smorodov For your insights! I got it working! Here is my updated code for adding Noise in a Color Image. Hope this will be useful for someone!

#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"

#include 

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

inline BYTE Clamp(int n)
{
    n = n>255 ? 255 : n;
    return n<0 ? 0 : n;
}

bool AddGaussianNoise(const Mat mSrc, Mat &mDst,double Mean=0.0, double StdDev=10.0)
{
    if(mSrc.empty())
    {
        cout<<"[Error]! Input Image Empty!";
        return 0;
    }

    Mat mGaussian_noise = Mat(mSrc.size(),CV_16SC3);
    randn(mGaussian_noise,Scalar::all(Mean),Scalar::all(StdDev));

    for (int Rows = 0; Rows < mSrc.rows; Rows++)
    {
        for (int Cols = 0; Cols < mSrc.cols; Cols++)
        {
            Vec3b Source_Pixel= mSrc.at(Rows,Cols);
            Vec3b &Des_Pixel= mDst.at(Rows,Cols);
            Vec3s Noise_Pixel= mGaussian_noise.at(Rows,Cols);

            for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
            {
                int Dest_Pixel= Source_Pixel.val[i] + Noise_Pixel.val[i];
                Des_Pixel.val[i]= Clamp(Dest_Pixel);
            }
        }
    }

    return true;
}

bool AddGaussianNoise_Opencv(const Mat mSrc, Mat &mDst,double Mean=0.0, double StdDev=10.0)
{
    if(mSrc.empty())
    {
        cout<<"[Error]! Input Image Empty!";
        return 0;
    }
    Mat mSrc_16SC;
    Mat mGaussian_noise = Mat(mSrc.size(),CV_16SC3);
    randn(mGaussian_noise,Scalar::all(Mean), Scalar::all(StdDev));

    mSrc.convertTo(mSrc_16SC,CV_16SC3);
    addWeighted(mSrc_16SC, 1.0, mGaussian_noise, 1.0, 0.0, mSrc_16SC);
    mSrc_16SC.convertTo(mDst,mSrc.type());

    return true;
}


int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    Mat mSource= imread("input.png",1); 
    imshow("Source Image",mSource);

    Mat mColorNoise(mSource.size(),mSource.type());

    AddGaussianNoise(mSource,mColorNoise,0,10.0);

    imshow("Source + Color Noise",mColorNoise); 


    AddGaussianNoise_Opencv(mSource,mColorNoise,0,10.0);//I recommend to use this way!

    imshow("Source + Color Noise OpenCV",mColorNoise);  

    waitKey();
    return 0;
}
