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 bits 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.

        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 fd
        = \ fd | d in d \ is the image of d under f.  the image is
        a subset of c, the codomain.
