ABSTRACT
For many people, the term “digital imaging” describes the process used to paste images of Tom Hanks into old newsreels so that Forrest Gump could meet Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, or the even more computationally intensive efforts such as creating dinosaurs to chase human actors in Jurassic Park. These high-profile movies generate a lot of publicity for the technology used to create them, and although we willingly suspend our disbelief when we enter the theater, the knowledge that the images we are seeing do not show actual events is retained.
