Requirements: ImageJ 1.17j or later
Limitations: Limited to 8 bit images
Source: Poisson_Noise.java
Installation: Download Poisson_Noise.class to the plugins folder and restart ImageJ.
Description: This plugin adds specified Poisson distributed noise to each pixel of an image using a simple way to generate random Poisson-distributed numbers given by Knuth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth).

Poisson noise or shot noise is a type of  electronic noise that occurs when the finite number of particles that carry energy, such as electrons in an electronic circuit or photons in an optical device, is small enough to give rise to detectable statistical fluctuations in a measurement. It is important in electronics, telecommunications, and fundamental physics.
