Two-dimensional data has two location indicators for each data point If the location indicators are evenly spaced, the data can easily be stored as a 2 D Matrix file.

Organization of 2 D Matrix files There is no standard layout for 2 D matrix files Some standard file formats which use binary storage of data: HDF net. CDF FITS TIFF
Images as 2 D Matrix files The most common form of 2 D matrix file is the digital image. Remember that the pixel values or intensities in an image may represent: • intensity • density • temperature • pressure • some other measurement taken on a regular grid.
Common Enhancement Techniques for Images - look up table transformations - histogram modifications - geometric transformations - filtering
