From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
image 1. Data representing a two-dimensional scene. A digital image is composed of {pixels} arranged in a rectangular array with a certain height and width. Each pixel may consist of one or more {bit}s of information, representing the brightness of the image at that point and possibly including colour information encoded as {RGB} triples. {Images} are usually taken from the real world via a {digital camera}, {frame grabber}, or {scanner}; or they may be generated by computer, e.g. by {ray tracing} software. See also {image formats}, {image processing}. (1994-10-21) 2. The image (or range) of a {function} is the set of values obtained by applying the function to all elements of its {domain}. So, if f : D -> C then the set f(D) = \{ f(d) \| d in D \} is the image of D under f. The image is a subset of C, the {codomain}. (2000-01-19)
