'Bruit' how to translate it into English?

[romain_j.]

<p>Hi all,<br>

I would like to know the English translation of the french word : 'Noise' (degradation of the digital file that occurs by increasing the ISO of his camera digital)? I can not find the English version of word, is it may be 'noise'?<br>

Thanks for your answers,<br>

Romain: comme le dit Richard, c'est "noise", parfois plus spécifiquement "digital noise".

It's interesting that the French use the same word for sensor noise as for sonic noise (du bruit), just as we do in

English. It's a bit of a misnomer, and the French are usually more precise and exacting in their choice of words.

<p>NTIM, But <em>noise</em> does not seem at all a misnomer to me, and I think it is a fairly precise and exacting choice for the phenomenon. It's been used in electronics at least since radar.</p>

<p>Enhanced sensor noise looks almost exactly like the visual "noise" one sees between channels on a TV. Sonic noise would seem to parallel those, nicely.</p>

<p>A word can have different meanings depending on the context of discussion. I think within context of talking about digital imaging, the use of the English word 'noise' is commonly used to refer to pixels exhibiting incorrect color values as light levels diminish.</p>

<p>Yes, bruit is noise. In French it's usually used as a noun, whether the noise of active children or a passing train. In English a legitimate use is to say "to bruit something about" which would mean to noisily express something, usually something we would talk about quietly like a rumour, a family secret or anything we'd prefer to be treated with discretion. </p>
