Study Notes
Analog vs Digital Images
- Analog images are continuous signals, whereas digital images are discrete representations of images
- Analog images have infinite detail, whereas digital images have finite detail
Digital Image Representation
- A digital image is represented as a matrix of pixels, with each pixel having a specific intensity value
- Each pixel is assigned a digital value, which is a finite representation of the analog intensity value
Analog to Digital Conversion
- Integrating and sampling analog data in a spatial domain allows us to obtain a digital image
- This process converts continuous analog data into discrete digital values
Analog Signal Characteristics
- An analog signal has a continuous domain (time) and a continuous range (amplitude)
Digital Image Storage
- Digital image numbers are stored with finite precision in a computer due to memory constraints
- Finite precision is necessary to store and process digital images efficiently
