Mathematical representation of monochromatic
images. – Two dimensional function f(x,y), where f is the gray level of a pixel at location x and y. 0< f(x,y) < – The values of the function f at different locations are proportional to the energy radiated from the imaged object. f(x,y)=i(x,y)*r(x,y) 0< i(x,y) < 0 < r(x,y) < 1 i(x,y) : Sun on clear day 90,000 lm/m2

• The output of most sensors is continuous in amplitude
and spatial coordinates. • Converting an analog image to a digital image require sampling and quantization • Sampling: is digitizing the coordinate values • Quantization: is digitizing the amplitude values • Nyquist Rate: • Spatial resolution must be less or equal half of the minimum period of the image or sampling frequency must be greater or equal to twice of the maximum frequency Generating a Digital Image
