CHAPTER 9
Image Processing
Two-Dimensional Data
Up to this point we’ve mostly dealt with one-dimensional data. That is, we’ve covered graphs and data that are essentially composed of a series of values. We’ve plotted the data, analyzed it, and created an image that was later saved to file or displayed to screen.
However, an image data file, or the image on your screen, is two dimensional. It is composed of pixels (which is short for picture elements).
