Digitization: Standards & History

Digitization is the process of converting information into a digital format, i.e., a format that can be read by computers. 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. The result of this conversion…
