Digital Image Fundamentals: An Image Created Through the Process of Digitization

Abstract

Digitization is the process through which we transform the formats or objects that one can see or hear like: text, image or sound from analog media, into electronic data that we can save, organize, retrieve, and restore through electronic devices into perceptible surrogates of the original works. Of the vast number of digital assets that are being created, still images, texts, motion pictures, and sound recordings predominate. A digital image, then, is one that has been created through the process of digitization.
