Editor's Notes

  • #2 Points to deliver: What is Image? An image is a visual representation of an object, a person, or a scene produced by an optical device such as a mirror, a lens, or a camera. This representation is two dimensional (2D), although it corresponds to one of the infinitely many projections of a real-world, three-dimensional (3D) object or scene. What is a digital image? Adigital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image using a finite number of points, usually referred to as picture elements, pels, or pixels.
  • #3 Image processing is a discipline in electrical engineering(derived from Signal Processing) and in mathematics that deals with analysis and processing of analog and digital signals , and deals with storing, filtering, and other operations on signals. These signals include transmission signals , sound or voice signals , image signals , and other signals etc. Signal: Any quantity measureable through time over space or any other higher dimension.
