Simply Google Image Denoising
The SNR can be represented by a peak pixel in a signal divided by the
standard deviation of the background or the summed energy of a signal
divided by the standard deviation of the background. Keep in mind
when taking the standard deviation of the background you should make
sure to not include the signal in your calculation by masking it out.
I'm not entirely sure how adding white noise reduces the overall noise
unless it perfectly cancels the existing noise....
