Bruit blancthumb|Échantillon de bruit blanc. thumb|Spectre plat d'un bruit blanc (sur l'abscisse, la fréquence ; en ordonnée, l'intensité). Un bruit blanc est une réalisation d'un processus aléatoire dans lequel la densité spectrale de puissance est la même pour toutes les fréquences de la bande passante. Le bruit additif blanc gaussien est un bruit blanc qui suit une loi normale de moyenne et variance données. Des générateurs de signaux aléatoires () sont utilisés pour des essais de dispositifs de transmission et, à faible niveau, pour l'amélioration des systèmes numériques par dither.
Gaussian blurIn , a Gaussian blur (also known as Gaussian smoothing) is the result of blurring an by a Gaussian function (named after mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss). It is a widely used effect in graphics software, typically to reduce and reduce detail. The visual effect of this blurring technique is a smooth blur resembling that of viewing the image through a translucent screen, distinctly different from the bokeh effect produced by an out-of-focus lens or the shadow of an object under usual illumination.
Mixing (mathematics)In mathematics, mixing is an abstract concept originating from physics: the attempt to describe the irreversible thermodynamic process of mixing in the everyday world: e.g. mixing paint, mixing drinks, industrial mixing. The concept appears in ergodic theory—the study of stochastic processes and measure-preserving dynamical systems. Several different definitions for mixing exist, including strong mixing, weak mixing and topological mixing, with the last not requiring a measure to be defined.
Renewal theoryRenewal theory is the branch of probability theory that generalizes the Poisson process for arbitrary holding times. Instead of exponentially distributed holding times, a renewal process may have any independent and identically distributed (IID) holding times that have finite mean. A renewal-reward process additionally has a random sequence of rewards incurred at each holding time, which are IID but need not be independent of the holding times. A renewal process has asymptotic properties analogous to the strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem.
