Number of signal levels of modern photo- and videocameras equals thousands and tens of thousands. However because of temporal and spatial camera pixels noises and linear dynamic range limitation, number of resolvable signal levels is significantly lower. Earlier iterative method of estimation of number of resolvable signal levels of cameras was proposed. In this paper integral method of estimation of number of resolvable signal levels of cameras is proposed and applied to consumer camera.
