A Grid of Numbers

Captions available

The idea

A digital image reaches a machine as a grid of numbers — one brightness per cell, nothing else — and everything called seeing is built from arithmetic on the grid.

In practice

A modest photograph is a million cells, three numbers each for color: one case described by millions of features.

Where people slip

Between the grid and the label sits arithmetic — keep that sentence in view all block.
