COORDINATE CONVENTION ASET
An Image can be
modeled as
2D Signal
f(x,y)
ASET
• Monochrome image: 2D light intensity function f(x,y), x & y
spatial coordinates
• The value of f at any point (x,y) is proportional to the
brightness of the image at that point.
x
• Digital image: an image f(x,y) that has been discretized
both in spatial coordinates and brightness

– (i,j) is a picture element or a pixel.
– (i,j) has an intensity of f(i,j).
