Reliability of noise level estimation. Empirical noise (A) shows clear spatial dependence. Regularization of the empirical noise (B) preserves spatial structure. The proposed noise estimation method demonstrates reliability. Both the mean difference between estimate noise and regularized empirical noise (C) and the estimated noise variability (D) are within 5 percent.
