Digital Image Basics for Computer Vision
Before filters and detectors, images are discrete grids of samples. Understanding resolution, bit depth, and how sampling and quantization affect quality helps you interpret algorithms and artifacts.
Core idea
Spatial sampling picks where you measure; quantization picks how finely you record brightness or color at each sample.
Quick topics
Resolution
W×H in pixels sets spatial detail; memory and compute often scale with pixel count.
Channels
Grayscale: one value per pixel. RGB: three. More channels (alpha, multispectral) pack extra information.
Aliasing
Shrinking images without low-pass filtering can create jaggies and moiré—mitigate with blur before downsample.
Compression
Lossless preserves pixels exactly; lossy trades fidelity for smaller files—important for storage and pipelines.
