Subtract the "true" image and then look at the spectrum of the noise to see what known type of noise it resembles.

Evidently from your reply to Walter below, you don't really want to know what kind of noise it is, like Poisson, Additive Gaussian, 1/f noise, shot noise, or whatever. You want to denoise the image of individual bitplanes like we talked about in your duplicate question http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/106157#comment_180155. That is a different question than trying to get a noise only image so that you can "find what kind of noises present in an image". So I won't bother trying to answer the question in this question, and spend time creating a demo for you to do that when apparently that's not what you want or need.

If all you have is the image, then NO: you cannot tell whether the image has noise or if the image is a true representation of what is actually present. Consider Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, long thought to be noise but in fact an important signal in its own right.

I don't take email and don't have time for a lot of offline consulting. Sorry.
