IMAGING GLOSSARY

Cartesian coordinates (imaging)

A 2-dimensional equally spaced grid iron that uniquely assigns every point in the plane, (one and only one), co-ordinate pair; (x, y).

In imaging, each point is usually referred to as a pixel and the x and y values take on integer values. Most images use the top-left as the (0,0), or origin.
