About
image
1. <
data,
graphics> Data representing a two-dimensional scene. A digital image is composed of
pixels arranged in a rectangular array with a certain height and width. Each pixel may consist of one or more
bits of information, representing the brightness of the image at that point and possibly including colour information encoded as
RGB triples.
Images are usually taken from the real world via a
digital camera,
frame grabber, or
scanner; or they may be generated by computer, e.g. by
ray tracing software.
