 Unit 4. Digital Image Processing
 

The resolution of an image is expressed in dots per inch (dpi) (punts per polzada (ppp)). The resolution indicates the number of dots or pixels there are in a specific length of image. Bigger resolutions give us images of better quality. This is important when we acquire images with a digital camera or a scanner. With a scanner we can choose the resolution of the scanned image, but with a camera we can't. That's why the resolution is an important feature to check before buying a camera.
