ABSTRACT
We have touched briefly in Chapter 2 on image display. In this chapter, we investigate this matter in more detail. We look more deeply at the use of the image display functions in our systems, and show how spatial resolution and quantization can affect the display and appearance of an image. In particular, we look at image quality, and how that may be affected by various image attributes. Quality is of course a highly subjective matter: no two people will agree precisely as to the quality of different images. However, for human vision in general, images are preferred to be sharp and detailed. This is a consequence of two properties of an image: its spatial resolution, and its quantization.
