IMAGING GLOSSARY

Gamma correction (imaging)

A non-linear function that is used to correct the inherent non-linearities of cameras and monitors.

The intensity of the luminescent phosphor on the raster display is non-linear.

Gamma correction is an adjustment to the pixel intensity values that make up for this inherent non-linearity.
