A noise measurement apparatus and a method thereof capable of reducing an error in measuring a noise of incoming image signals. A picture of an incoming image signal is broken into at least two blocks and an average brightness value with respect to each block is calculated in a sequence. At least two first data, each being a sum of differences between the calculated average brightness value and brightness values of respective constituent pixels of the block, where the average brightness value is calculated, and a spatial noise is calculated based on the at least two first data. At least two second data that indicate a difference a brightness value of each block of the picture and a brightness value of each block of a delayed picture is calculated, and a temporal noise is calculated based on the at least two second data. A noise on the image signal is calculated based on the spatial noise and the temporal noise. |
