The main part of the noise in digital images arises when taking pictures or transmission. There is noise in the images captured by the image sensors of the real world. Noise, based on its causes can have different probability density functions. For example, such a model is called the Poisson distribution function of the random nature of photon arrival process that is consistent with the distribution of pixel values measured. The parameters of the noise probability density function (PDF) can be achieved to some extent the properties of the sensor. But, we need to estimate the parameters for imaging settings. If we assume that the PDF of noise is approximately Gaussian, then we need only to estimate the mean and variance because the Gaussian PDF with only two parameters is determined. In fact, in many cases, PDF of noise is not Gaussian and it has unknown distribution. In this study, we introduce a generalized probability density function for modeling noise in images and propose a method to estimate its parameters. Because the generalized probability density function has multiple parameters, so use common parameter estimation techniques such as derivative method to maximize the likelihood function would be extremely difficult. In this study, we propose the use of evolutionary algorithms for global optimization. The results show that this method accurately estimates the probability density function parameters.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
