Tool: Noise Generator (Image)

[j4lando]

Given an input image add distortion and noise. Some common kinds of noise are gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise (caused by dead pixels), and discretization (caused by discrete pixels). You can learn more about how to add these noise in this article. We also have to account for noise caused by lens distortion. To start off we should include radial distortion. Another distortion that is important to include is motion blur.

Found this cool open-source project that implements a virtual camera using numpy and OpenCV, and includes ways to change the camera intrinsics, including, importantly, the distortion coefficients. Could definitely be useful for adjusting the camera model to include distortion.
