Image

An image (from Latin: imago) is an artifact that depicts visual perception, such as a
photograph or other two-dimensional picture, that resembles a subject—usually a
physical object—and thus provides a depiction of it. In the context of signal
processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s).[1]

The word 'image' is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure
such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, a painting or a banner. In this wider sense,
images can also be rendered manually, such as by drawing, the art of painting,
carving, rendered automatically by printing or computer graphics technology, or
developed by a combination of methods, especially in apseudo-photograph.

A volatile image is one that exists only for a short period of time. This may be a
reflection of an object by a mirror, a projection of a camera obscura, or a scene
displayed on a cathode ray tube. A fixed image, also called a hard copy, is one that

Two Types of Images a. Still Imageb. Moving Image

Still or moving
A still image is a single static image. This phrase is used in photography, visual
media and the computer industry to emphasize that one is not talking about movies,
or in very precise or pedantic technical writing such as astandard.

A moving image is typically a movie (film) or video, including digital video. It could
also be an animated display such as a zoetrope.

A still frame is a still image derived from one frame of a moving one. In contrast, a
film still is a photograph taken on the set of a movie or television program during
production, used for promotional purposes.

be figurative and literal.[2]
