Abstract
The traditional disciplines of science are grounded in the observation and measurement of object properties. Recent advances in digital computer technology have spawned numerous computer-based imaging systems that extend the range of observation and measurement into realms that would otherwise be inaccessible. More importantly, the same set of principles, concepts, strategies, and methods may be used to address the generic issues involved in the production and use of all digitized images. Recognition of this fact is giving rise to the new discipline of imaging science, with its own intellectual agenda.
