Analog noise

edited December 2017 in How To...

Hi, does anyone know how I can create analog style noise in processing similar to what is shown in this picture?

  • This is an overlapped positive and negative gaussian curve with different amplitudes drawn either using multiple PGraphics (expensive) or applying tint to the main sketch before drawing a new curve (not tested btw, just an observation)

    Kf

  • Some forms of visual noise with a certain "look" are byproducts of the display media they are associated with -- for example, CRTs. You might be interested in this in-depth discussion on approaches to CRT simulation:

    The interesting thing about this kind of approach is that once you the image filtering simulation in place then you can use it for any signal processing -- sending pure static at the screen with a simple random number generator will create some of the ghosting / color separation / banding etc. that is also present in "clean" images.
