Abstract
The word “signal” carries a broad meaning in all the domains of knowledge gathering, ranging from electronics and computer engineering to deaf-and-dumb communication. The word is uttered by every professional ranging from journalists to linguists. In the present chapter, we have introduced signal and tried to make the definition generic. From the basic definition of image, we will try to fit image into the generic definition of signal. As the title of the book signifies, here we will address the subject digital image processing through the two sided merely correlated guides to signal processing and pattern recognition.

There is another branch of study known as 3D image processing. This book has addressed only the 2D images both in gray and color mode not 3D images.
- 2.
24-bit BMP (Bitmap image)
