The MIME media type for JPEG is image / jpeg ( defined in RFC 1341 ), except in Internet Explorer, which provides a MIME type of image / pjpeg when uploading JPEG images.

As with the distance discussion above, this provides a very solid looking and detailed image.

Serial time encoded amplified microscopy ( STEAM ) is an imaging method that provides ultrafast shutter speed and frame rate, by using optical image amplification to circumvent the fundamental trade-off between sensitivity and speed, and a single-pixel photodetector to eliminate the need for a detector array and readout time limitations The method is at least 1000 times faster than the state-of-the-art CCD and CMOS cameras.

In reflection mode, the phase shift image provides a relative distance measurement and thus represents a topography map of the reflecting surface.

In transmission mode, the phase shift image provides a label-free quantitative measurement of the optical thickness of the specimen.

The sample is then examined in an optical or electron microscope, and the image contrast provides details on the composition, mechanical properties, and processing history.

Indirect realism provides an account of issues such as qualia, dreams, imaginings, hallucinations, illusions, the resolution of binocular rivalry, the resolution of multistable perception, the modelling of motion that allows us to watch TV, the sensations that result from direct brain stimulation, the update of the mental image by saccades of the eyes and the referral of events backwards in time.

The discovery of the ' camera obscura ' that provides an image of a scene is very old, dating back to ancient China.

This provides the photographer with the three basic channels required to recreate a color image.

Thus, two of the three color channels for each sensor must be interpolated and a so-called N-megapixel camera that produces an N-megapixel image provides only one-third of the information that an image of the same size could get from a scanner.

Wrapper tools that simplify this workflow include: ImageOptim, a GUI front-end for Mac OS X ; Kashmir Web Optimizer-GUI front-end for Windows ; imgopt, a command-line shell script that also losslessly optimizes JPEG images, Smush. it, an image-optimizing web service ; and TinyPNG, which provides further compression by also reducing the number of colors in the image.

Each color has its own address ( index )— consider it as a descriptive reference number that provides that specific color when the image needs it.

LandScan is a raster image, or grid, of population counts, which provides human population estimates every 30 x 30 arc seconds, which translates roughly to population estimates for 1 kilometer square windows or grid cells at the equator, with cell width decreasing at higher latitudes.

It provides navigational support, data input, hyperlinks, text and image presentation, and forms, much like HTML ( HyperText Markup Language ).

* 1968 – The Apollo 8 manned lunar mission provides the first image ever taken of the sphere of the Earth.

* Progressive transmission by pixel and resolution accuracy, commonly referred to as progressive decoding and signal-to-noise ratio ( SNR ) scalability: JPEG 2000 provides efficient code-stream organizations which are progressive by pixel accuracy and by image resolution ( or by image size ).

* Electronic image integration platform: PACS provides the electronic platform for radiology images interfacing with other medical automation systems such as Hospital Information System ( HIS ), Electronic Medical Record ( EMR ), Practice Management Software, and Radiology Information System ( RIS ).

Output to CRT-based television receivers and monitors does not usually require further gamma correction, since the standard video signals that are transmitted or stored in image files incorporate gamma compression that provides a pleasant image after the gamma expansion of the CRT ( it is not the exact inverse ).
