Table 1. Description of seven noise components

Noise Component	Description	Explanation
σ_T	Frame-to-frame noise	Frame average that fluctuates over time.
σ_TV	Temporal row noise	The part of the row average that fluctuates over time.
σ_TH	Temporal column noise	The part of the column average that fluctuates over time.
σ_TVH	Spatial-temporal random noise	The part of each pixel output that fluctuates randomly over time.
σ_V	Spatial row noise	The part of the row average that differs from the spatial distribution.
σ_H	Spatial column noise	The part of the column average that differs from the spatial distribution.
σ_VH	Spatial random noise	The part of each pixel output that differs from the spatial distribution.
