ISONoise

Description

Applies camera sensor noise to the input image, simulating high ISO settings.

    This transform adds random noise to an image, mimicking the effect of using high ISO settings
    in digital photography. It simulates two main components of ISO noise:
    1. Color noise: random shifts in color hue
    2. Luminance noise: random variations in pixel intensity

    Args:
        color_shift (tuple[float, float]): Range for changing color hue.
            Values should be in the range [0, 1], where 1 represents a full 360° hue rotation.
            Default: (0.01, 0.05)

        intensity (tuple[float, float]): Range for the noise intensity.
            Higher values increase the strength of both color and luminance noise.
            Default: (0.1, 0.5)

        p (float): Probability of applying the transform. Default: 0.5

    Targets:
        image

    Image types:
        uint8, float32

    Number of channels:
        3

    Note:
        - This transform only works with RGB images. It will raise a TypeError if applied to
          non-RGB images.
        - The color shift is applied in the HSV color space, affecting the hue channel.
        - Luminance noise is added to all channels independently.
        - This transform can be useful for data augmentation in low-light scenarios or when
          training models to be robust against noisy inputs.

    Example:
        >>> import numpy as np
        >>> import albumentations as A
        >>> image = np.random.randint(0, 256, (100, 100, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
        >>> transform = A.ISONoise(color_shift=(0.01, 0.05), intensity=(0.1, 0.5), p=0.5)
        >>> result = transform(image=image)
        >>> noisy_image = result["image"]
