Conversion of a sampled analog or continuous signal into a series of binary ones and zeros. Used for audio, graphic images, or physical measurements. Sampling frequency and number of binary elements affects accuracy of conversion back to analog form.
The process of using a digitizer to encode the locations of geographic features by converting their map positions to a series of x,y coordinates stored in computer files. Pushing a digitizer button records an x,y coordinate. A digitized line is created by recording a series of x,y coordinates.
To convert analog (wave-based) media into digital format (zeros and ones) so that they can be understood by computers. Also known as "capturing," and sometimes "encoding."
