10// The original work for this formula was implmented in aomenc, and this is
11// an adaptation of that work:
12// https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/refs/heads/main/examples/photon_noise_table.c
13
14// This implementation creates a film grain table, for use in stills and videos,
15// representing the noise that one would get by shooting with a digital camera
16// at a given light level. Much of the noise in digital images is photon shot
17// noise, which is due to the characteristics of photon arrival and grows in
18// standard deviation as the square root of the expected number of photons
19// captured.
20// https://www.photonstophotos.net/Emil%20Martinec/noise.html#shotnoise
21//
22// The proxy used by this implementation for the amount of light captured
23// is the ISO value such that the focal plane exposure at the time of capture
24// would have been mapped by a 35mm camera to the output lightness observed
25// in the image. That is, if one were to shoot on a 35mm camera (36×24mm sensor)
26// at the nominal exposure for that ISO setting, the resulting image should
27// contain noise of the same order of magnitude as generated by this
28// implementation.
29//
30// The (mostly) square-root relationship between light intensity and noise
31// amplitude holds in linear light, but AV1 streams are most often encoded
32// non-linearly, and the film grain is applied to those non-linear values.
33// Therefore, this implementation must account for the non-linearity, and this
34// is controlled by the transfer function parameter, which specifies the tone
35// response curve that will be used when encoding the actual image. The default
36// for this implementation is BT.1886, which is approximately similar to an
37// encoding gamma of 1/2.8 (i.e. a decoding gamma of 2.8) though not quite
38// identical.
39//
40// As alluded to above, the implementation assumes that the image is taken from
41// the entirety of a 36×24mm (“35mm format”) sensor. If that assumption does not
42// hold, then a “35mm-equivalent ISO value” that can be passed to the
43// implementation can be obtained by multiplying the true ISO value by the ratio
44// of 36×24mm to the area that was actually used. For formats that approximately
45// share the same aspect ratio, this is often expressed as the square of the
46// “equivalence ratio” which is the ratio of their diagonals. For example, APS-C
47// (often ~24×16mm) is said to have an equivalence ratio of 1.5 relative to the
48// 35mm format, and therefore ISO 1000 on APS-C and ISO 1000×1.5² = 2250 on 35mm
49// produce an image of the same lightness from the same amount of light spread
50// onto their respective surface areas (resulting in different focal plane
51// exposures), and those images will thus have similar amounts of noise if the
52// cameras are of similar technology. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.OE.57.11.110801
53//
54// The implementation needs to know the resolution of the images to which its
55// grain tables will be applied so that it can know how the light on the sensor
56// was shared between its pixels. As a general rule, while a higher pixel count
57// will lead to more noise per pixel, when the final image is viewed at the same
58// physical size, that noise will tend to “average out” to the same amount over
59// a given area, since there will be more pixels in it which, in aggregate, will
60// have received essentially as much light. Put differently, the amount of noise
61// depends on the scale at which it is measured, and the decision for this
62// implementation was to make that scale relative to the image instead of its
63// constituent samples. For more on this, see:
