IOngineering @ St. Mark's School of Texas

            After finishing this chapter you are responsible for being able to describe, define,
and compare these concepts:

1. Describe the nature of a converting an analog image to a digital image. What is a CCD? 

2. What is sampling in space? How does an array of pixels create an image?

3. What is bit-depth? What is pixel resolution?

4. Topics to identify and discuss the applications of:
   > Pixels
   > Matrices = images
   > Lookup tables for assigning colors to numbers
   > Bits/pixels= bit depth
   > Pixels/ image = spatial resolution
   > Quantization errors
   > Thresholding operations on an image

5. How can aliasing occur in a video? How can this be prevented?

6. Visit the Computer imaging websites to see many of these concepts illustrated and explained.
