In modern practice, the digitized data is in the form of binary numbers, which facilitates processing by digital computers and other operations, but digitizing simply means 'the conversion of analog source material into a numerical format' the decimal or any other number system can be used instead. The result is called digital representation or, more specifically, a digital image, for the object, and digital form, for the signal.
The result is the representation of an object, image, sound, document, or signal (usually an analog signal) obtained by generating a series of numbers that describe a discrete set of points or samples. For the shift from mechanical and analog electronic technology to digital electronics technology, see Digital Revolution.ĭigitization is the process of converting information into a digital (i.e. For transforming business and education, see Digital transformation.
