Abstract

We start by defining what an image is, starting from the mathematical view point to its physical representation. We recall basic definitions of probability, statistics, and stochastic simulation.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself. Harvey Fierstein.
