Preferred term

digital imaging  

Definition

  • In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon, the Woodstock Festival attracted nearly 500,000 concertgoers, and George Smith and Willard Boyle invented the first charge coupled device (CCD). Although greeted with less fanfare than the other events of 1969, the CCD gave rise to digital imaging—the process of capturing and representing an image in a format readable by a computer.
