First sentence: This chapter introduces the basic features of the pixel array. I explain how the pixel array is digitized from the image plane, how pixel values are related to brightness and color, and why most imaging systems use pixel values that are nonlinearly related to light intensity.
Description: Placing video in the context of computing - Rapidly evolving computer and communications technologies have achieved data transmission rates and data storage capacities high enough for digital video. But video involves much more than just pushing bits! Achieving the best possible image quality, accurate color, and smooth motion requires understanding many aspects of image acquisition, coding, processing, and display that are outside the usual realm of computer graphics. At the same time, video system designers are facing new demands to interface with film and computer system that require techniques outside conventional video engineering.
