How do you calculate autocorrelation function?

The number of autocorrelations calculated is equal to the effective length of the time series divided by 2, where the effective length of a time series is the number of data points in the series without the pre-data gaps.

How do you calculate autocorrelation of white noise?

Since the autocorrelation function of a wide-sense-stationary discrete-time random process is defined as RX(k)=E[XiXi+k], we have that the white-noise process has an autocorrelation function given by σ2δ[k] where δ[k] is the unit pulse (a.k.a. discrete-time impulse) function.

How auto correlation can be used to detect the presence of noise?

As an ideal assumption, we can consider the autocorrelation of noise as a unit sample at the origin and zero at other lags. Therefore, that portion of noisy speech autocorrelation sequence which is far enough from the origin will have the same autocorrelation as clean speech signal.

How do you estimate noise in an image?

Noise is typically measured as RMS (Root Mean Square) noise, which is identical to the standard deviation of the flat patch signal S. RMS\ Noise = \sigma(S), where σ denotes the standard deviation. RMS is used because Noise\ Power = (RMS\ Noise)^2.
