Imaging
Imaging is the representation or reproduction of an object's form; especially a visual representation (i.e., the formation of an image).
For the software, see Imaging for Windows.
Imaging technology is the application of materials and methods to create, preserve, or duplicate images.
Imaging science is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the generation, collection, duplication, analysis, modification, and visualization of images,[1] including imaging things that the human eye cannot detect. As an evolving field it includes research and researchers from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, computer vision, computer science, and perceptual psychology.
Imagers are imaging sensors.
