These are taken from http://isp.webopedia.com. Imaging…A
field of computer
science covering digital
images - images that can be stored on a computer, particularly bit-mapped
images. Computer imaging is a wide field that includes digital
photography, scanning,
and composition and manipulation of bit-mapped graphics. Computer imaging is often
called digital imaging scan ..To digitize
an image by passing it through an optical
scanner. optical
scanner ..A device
that can read text
or illustrations printed on paper and translate the information into a form the computer
can use. A scanner works by digitizing
an image -- dividing it into a grid of boxes and representing each box with
either a zero or a one, depending on whether the box is filled in. (For color
and gray scaling,
the same principle applies, but each box is then represented by up to 24 bits.)
The resulting matrix of bits, called a bit
map, can then be stored
in a file, displayed on
a screen, and
manipulated by programs.
Optical scanners do not
distinguish text from illustrations; they represent all images as bit maps.
Therefore, you cannot directly edit text that has been scanned. To edit text
read by an optical scanner, you need an optical
character recognition (OCR ) system to
translate the image into ASCII characters. Most
optical scanners sold today come with OCR
packages Top of Page Back to Information Technology Home
