The storey of the first Digital images.

The storey of the first Digital images.

As most of you will know I’m a student, well I guess you will as the name of this blog is Kevin's University Adventures. As a part of my next year’s thesis project I’m considering images and compression.

During my whole day of research! I stumbled upon this little gem, it’s a picture of a cute baby well it’s a digital rendering of the first Digital image taken, its actually a photo of the first digital image in a Jpeg format as the original was a 176 x 176 grid and each bit was a pixel, just black or white. On a computer that was operated with switches in 1957. I really don't think they would have a format name for it.



But however it has hunting eyes don’t you think.

  3. Very cool. I remember seeing the first photograph ever taken, really interesting, it took many hours to expose.
