  2. Raster scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_scan

    In a raster scan, an image is subdivided into a sequence of (usually horizontal) strips known as "scan lines".Each scan line can be transmitted in the form of an analog signal as it is read from the video source, as in television systems, or can be further divided into discrete pixels for processing in a computer system.

  3. Rasterisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasterisation

    Raster graphic image. In computer graphics, rasterisation (British English) or rasterization (American English) is the task of taking an image described in a vector graphics format (shapes) and converting it into a raster image (a series of pixels, dots or lines, which, when displayed together, create the image which was represented via shapes).

  4. Scan line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scan_line

    Scan lines are important in representations of image data, because many image file formats have special rules for data at the end of a scan line. For example, there may be a rule that each scan line starts on a particular boundary (such as a byte or word; see for example BMP file format). This means that even otherwise compatible raster data ...

  5. Optical character recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition

    Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...

  6. Image scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner

    The Bartlane system was initially used exclusively by telegraph, with the five-bit Baudot code used to transmit the grayscale digital image. In 1921, the system was modified for offline use, with a five-bit paper tape punch punching holes depending on whether its connections to the contacts are bridged or not. The result was a stored digital ...

  7. Digital image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_image

    A digital image is an image composed of picture elements, also known as pixels, each with finite, discrete quantities of numeric representation for its intensity or gray level that is an output from its two-dimensional functions fed as input by its spatial coordinates denoted with x, y on the x-axis and y-axis, respectively. [1]

  8. Scanning transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission...

    These signals can be obtained simultaneously, allowing direct correlation of images and spectroscopic data. A typical STEM is a conventional transmission electron microscope equipped with additional scanning coils , detectors, and necessary circuitry, which allows it to switch between operating as a STEM, or a CTEM; however, dedicated STEMs are ...

  9. Phased array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array

    The dynamic beam forming in an optical phased array transmitter can be used to electronically raster or vector scan images without using lenses or mechanically moving parts in a lensless projector. [32] Optical phased array receivers have been demonstrated to be able to act as lensless cameras by selectively looking at different directions. [33 ...
