Shot noise or Poisson noise is a type of noise which can be modeled by a Poisson process.
Photon noise simulation. Number of photons per pixel increases from left to right and from upper row to bottom row.

In probability theory, statistics and related fields, a Poisson point process is a type of mathematical object that consists of points randomly located on a mathematical space with the essential featu

…Shot noise or Poisson noise is a type of noise which can be modeled by a Poisson process. In electronics, shot noise originates from the discrete nature of electric charge. Shot noise also occurs in photon counting in optical devices, where…
According to one statistical study, the positions of cellular or mobile phone base stations in the Australian city Sydney, pictured above, resemble a realization of a homogeneous Poisson point process, while in many other cities around the world they do not and other point processes are required.
