Raster Scan

Raster scanning is an image detection and reconstruction pattern used in television and most computer image systems where an image is cut into pixels along successive scan lines, with each line either transmitted as detected from the sensor or stored in an array. On a display, the scan lines are drawn across the image in the same order, with the scan line position advanced between lines in a process called vertical scanning. This ordering of pixels by rows is known as raster order or raster scan order.

Raster scan, or raster scanning: is the pattern of image detection and reconstruction in television,

and is the pattern of image storage and transmission used in most computer image systems. The
word raster comes from the Latin word for a rake, as the pattern left by a rake resembles the
parallel lines of a scanning raster.

Picture element:
In a raster scan, an image is cut up into successive samples called pixels, or picture elements,
along scan lines. Each scan line can be transmitted as it is read from the detector, as in television
systems, or can be stored as a row of pixel values in an array in a computer system. On a
television receiver or computer monitor, the scan line is turned back to a line across an image, in
the same order. After each scan line, the position of the scan line is advanced, typically
downward across the image in a process known as vertical scanning, and a next scan line is
detected, transmitted, stored, retrieved, or displayed. This ordering of pixels by rows is known as
raster order, or raster scan order.
