Image Acquisition

Image acquisition is the process of capturing visual information using devices like cameras or sensors. It involves collecting light or electromagnetic signals from a scene or object and converting them into a digital or electronic format that can be stored, analyzed, or processed. This step is fundamental in applications such as photography, medical imaging, and remote sensing. Essentially, it's how an image is initially obtained before any editing or analysis, turning real-world visuals into data that technologies can interpret and work with.
