Binary Images

Binary images are digital images composed only of two colors, typically black and white. Each pixel in the image is represented by a single bit—0 or 1—indicating which color it is. This simple format is efficient for processing tasks like document scanning, text recognition, or image analysis because it reduces data complexity. By converting images into binary form, computers can quickly analyze shapes, patterns, and features without the detail of color or shades, making it ideal for applications where clarity and contrast are essential.
