Definition of image and imagery, from Thomas Blount's Glossographia Anglicana Nova, 1707. Thomas Blount (1618&ndash1679 was an English Antiquarian and Lexicographer.

The top image is captured using photography. Photography (fә'tɒgrәfi or fә'tɑːgrәfi (from Greek φωτο and γραφία is the process and Art of recording pictures by means of capturing The bottom image is rendered. Rendering in Visual art and Technical drawing means the process of creating shading and texturing of an image especially a Photorealistic one Images are produced either by capturing or rendering.

In common usage, an image (from Latin imago) or picture is an artifact, usually two-dimensional, that has a similar appearance to some subject—usually a physical object or a person. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Not to be confused with the subiectum or Hypokeimenon in Aristotelianism The term person is used in Common sense to mean an individual Human being.

Images may be two-dimensional, such as a photograph, screen display, and as well as a three-dimensional, such as a statue. In mathematics the dimension of a Space is roughly defined as the minimum number of Coordinates needed to specify every point within it A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an Image created by Light falling on a light-sensitive surface usually Photographic film or an electronic A statue is a Sculpture in the round representing a person or persons an animal or an event normally full-length as opposed to a bust, and at least close to life-size They may be captured by optical devices—such as cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. A camera is a device used to capture images either as still Photographs or as sequences of moving images ( Movies or Videos. A mirror is an object with a surface that has good Specular reflection; that is it is smooth enough to form an Image. A lens is an optical device with perfect or approximate Axial symmetry which transmits and refracts Light, converging or diverging A telescope is an instrument designed for the observation of remote objects and the collection of Electromagnetic radiation. A microscope ( Greek: ( micron) = small + ( skopein) = to look or see is an instrument for viewing objects that are and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water surfaces. Eyes are organs that detect Light, and send signals along the Optic nerve to the visual areas of the brain

The word image is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, or an abstract painting. A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, Regions, and Themes In Computer science, a graph is a kind of Data structure, specifically an Abstract data type (ADT that consists of a set of nodes (also called A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular Chart divided into sectors illustrating relative magnitudes or frequencies or percents Abstract art uses a Visual language of form color and line to create a composition which exists independently of visual references to the world In this wider sense, images can also be rendered manually, such as by drawing, painting, carving, rendered automatically by printing or computer graphics technology, or developed by a combination of methods, especially in a pseudo-photograph. Drawing is a Visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium Painting (pān'tīng in Art, is the practice of applying Color to a Surface (support base such as e Printing is a process for reproducing text and image typically with ink on Paper using a printing press Computer graphics are Graphics created by Computers and more generally the Representation and Manipulation of Pictorial Data Term Scope Image development is essentially Visual art usually for commercial purposes, but includes techniques not considered Fine art or A pseudo-photograph is an Image produced manually which is indistinguishable from a real Photograph produced using a camera

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. The camera obscura (Latin dark chamber) is an optical device used for example in drawing or for entertainment The cathode ray tube (CRT is a Vacuum tube containing an Electron gun (a source of electrons and a Fluorescent screen with internal or A fixed image, also called a hardcopy, is one that has been recorded on a material object, such as paper or textile. Paper is thin material mainly used for writing upon printing upon or packaging A textile is a flexible material comprised of a network of natural or artificial Fibres often referred to as thread or Yarn.

A mental image exists in an individual's mind: something one remembers or imagines. A mental image is an experience that significantly resembles the experience of perceiving some object event or scene but that occurs when the relevant object event or scene is not The subject of an image need not be real; it may be an abstract concept, such as a graph, function, or "imaginary" entity. In Mathematics and Computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs: mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects For example, Sigmund Freud claimed to have dreamt purely in aural-images of dialogues. Sigmund Freud (ˈziːkmʊnt ˈfʁɔʏt born Sigismund Shlomo Freud (May 6 1856 &ndash September 23 1939 was an Austrian Psychiatrist who founded The development of synthetic acoustic technologies and the creation of sound art have led to a consideration of the possibilities of a sound-image made up of irreducible phonic substance beyond linguistic or musicological analysis. Sound art is a diverse group of Art practices that considers wide notions of Sound, Listening and Hearing as its predominant focus

A collection of non-volatile images providing an image changing with time is a film.
