In this paper, we introduce a new perspective to synthesize +noise by directly sampling from the sensor's real noise.It inherently generates accurate raw image +noise for different camera sensors. Two efficient and generic techniques: pattern-aligned patch +sampling and high-bit reconstruction help accurate synthesis of spatial-correlated noise and +high-bit noise respectively. We conduct systematic experiments on SIDD and ELD datasets. +The results show that (1) our method outperforms existing methods and demonstrates wide +generalization on different sensors and lighting conditions. (2) Recent conclusions derived from +DNN-based noise modeling methods are actually based on inaccurate noise parameters. +The DNN-based methods still cannot outperform physics-based statistical methods. + +## Code & calibrated parameters + +coming soon ! \ No newline at end of file
