This document provides an overview of digital image fundamentals including:
- The electromagnetic spectrum and how light is sensed and sampled by sensor arrays to create digital images.
- Common sensor technologies like CCD and CMOS sensors and how they work.
- How digital images are represented through spatial and intensity discretization via sampling and quantization.
- Factors that affect image quality like spatial and intensity resolution.
- Concepts like aliasing, moire patterns, and their relationship to sampling rates.
- Basic image processing techniques like zooming, shrinking, and relationships between pixels.
