IMAGING GLOSSARY

(x, y)

A mathematical method for referring to a pixel from a digital image.

Since most digital images are maintained as a Cartesian matrix of pixels, each pixel has a unique address that can be described as an x or horizontal displacement from the origin and a y or vertical displacement from the origin.

See coordinates.
