Essays on Digital Image

A digital image is a numerical representation of (usually binary) a two-dimensional image. It could be of the vector or the raster type. Normally, the phrase “digital image” refers to raster or bitmapped images. Raster images possess a fixed amount of digital values, which are called picture elements or pixels. Every image has a fixed number of rows and columns of these pixels. The pixels are stored in the memory of computers as raster images consisting of arrays of numbers. These are stored and transmitted in compressed formats (Sprawls, 2017). Computers are able to produce descriptive information about a ...

Errors involved in digital image capturing and processing can either be systematic or random. Systematic errors are classified into geometric distortions, spectral errors and distortions. Geometric distortions are caused by sensor-Earth geometric variations which affects the position of a pixel relative to other pixels,. In digital images, the pixel position is compared to the other pixels in the scene and the absolute position of the pixel relative to real coordinates in latitudes and longitudes. Geometric distortions can render the image and the information expected to be derived from the image as useless,. This is because the image is sometimes ...

Digital image analysis is a method of extraction of useful information from digital images by using various digital image processing techniques. A digital image is a two-dimensional matrix that consists of great number of smallest addressable elements – pixels. Each pixel has its own digital characteristics, such as address and color representation. Digital image characteristics have two main measures: spatial resolution that is focused on capturing details and tonal resolution that is used to measure color, dynamic range and bit-depth. Higher tonal, spatial, and color values mean larger sizes of digital image file. (Peterson, 2005, pp. 1-2) The appropriate method ...

Issues in Digital Photography

The essay summarizes and compares the arguments by two authors, Rachel Wells, and Carol Squlers on Digital images and photography in Digital age. The paper focuses on how the authors challenge traditional modes in image making while advocating their views. The chapter on “Digital Scale: enlargement and intelligibility in Thomas Ruff’s jpeg Series “inspects the use of pixelation in Thomas Ruff’s jpeg series1.Ruff looked into the disclosure of the pixel grid when enlarging digital images. He has long been interested in reproduction and manipulation of digital images. His jpeg series works on digital images found on the ...

The human brain is the central organ for the functioning of the human body. One of the main functions of the brain is memory storage, which is the process of retaining information in the brain. There are certain circumstances, however, where one tends to forget or fail to remember things. Given these facts, one questions arise. How can one improve his/her brain power? One way, is through the use of mnemonic devices. Mnemonic devices or simply mnemonics, is a technique which is said to be helpful in memory improvement. Mnemonics uses different methods in order to help the brain ...

The project ‘Dreamscapes’ is my expression of surrealism. It is how sometimes, the unlikeliest of the things come together to form something meaningful. This is the common thread in all my works. The meaning might not be so apparent to the casual onlooker, but for an appreciator of fine arts, it will hold a deep meaning. Now I would like to discuss specific objects that comprise my art work. The hand in the first artwork is ‘unnatural’ or out of place object. The object has been so placed to create a bridge between physical and digital world, and create ...

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION The question of rubbish in design has assumed increasing significance in recent years. The late modernity in artistic expression, particularly in design, has made a strong case of incorporating everyday elements into different artistic expressions including, most notably, painting, sculpture, photography and installations. In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

Digital photography is among the several forms of digital imaging. It uses an array of electronic photo detectors which aid in capturing an image that is focused by the lens. Digital images are created by non-photographic apparatus for instance computer tomography scanners. This kind of camera the image is digitized and later stored as a computer file. Digital photographs are used to display, store and print images by use of computer techniques and digitally without chemical processing. Immediate image review and deletion is possible lighting and composition will be assessed right away finally conserves cupboard space. The camera has ...

A motion picture refers to a series of still images, which when viewed in brisk succession, seem to be moving. There are two principles behind the creation of the illusion of movement of the pictures. These include; persistence of vision and displacement. Persistence of vision is a phenomenon that enables us to see the frames as a constant image without the incursion of seeing the space between the frames. Our brains form a visual impression upon seeing an image and the image loiters until the next image displaces it. Displacement, conversely, forms the illusion of movement. As the image shifts from frame to ...

Part I: Cover Letter

This paper was written with a very specific goal in mind: to examine American popular culture today in terms of the technological devices that are used. Originally, the topic was going to be the smartphone in general; however, upon closer examination, the iPhone itself was such a pressing cultural phenomenon that it became the focus. The arrangement of the paper was designed to first introduce the reader to the object itself without defining it. Although it is assumed the reader knows nothing about the subject, the purpose is to give them an image; unless they are culturally blank, they will ...

(a) Product-market-focused strategies use actions that focus on the product and the market. So cost reduction might be the best marketing strategy for selling a larger number of the products. Niching requires finding a special target audience with a special need that only this product can fill. Or a product can have mostly the same advantages of ...
