What’s with the pixels? And who decided that anyway?

What is the Pixel Process?

The pixel process is a powerful method for learning, and not just for data and computer science.

Working effectively with image data requires understanding the components of a single pixel including value range, color representation (grayscale, RGB, RGBA), and grid position. Understanding a pixel is easy, but an image is more complex. Even the most advanced computer vision techniques rely on pixel level data.

Pixels may seem small and basic, but they are the foundation for creating stunning visuals and impactful analytics.

Check out this image basics tutorial to see this concept in action!

Beyond Images

Complex systems often follow the principle: You have to understand the basic components before combining them into something greater.

  • Pixels → Images → Videos

  • Words → Sentences → Books

  • Numbers → Geometry → Calculus

  • Nucleotides → Genes → DNA → Chromosomes

A true understanding of higher level processes relies on an indepth understanding of lower ones.

Understanding pieces to see the picture is the PixelProcess.

Meet the Dev

D. Bugz, PhD

Developer

I’m an experimental researcher and data scientist focused on how complex problems are framed, decomposed, and explored in practice. I design, prototype, and evaluate data driven projects and love to share knowledge and thoughts on learning, analysis, and troubleshooting. I have over a decade of experience using open source technology in psychology research, financial analysis, and instruction.
