24 bit scanner the signal-noise ratio is 1:X. Noise is false or incorrect scanning information, and signal noise ratio is the ratio between the signal and how much noise the signal carries. If the advertised advertised 30 bit scanner is indeed a 30 bit scanner, then the signal-noise ratio must be decreased to a fourth of the noise factor X in the 24 bit scanner. The scanner manufacturer can achieve that end sensitive CCD and a better lamp, but as we men- tioned, it costs. The signal in a scanner is analog and it’s converted to a digital signal by an AD (analog-to-digital) converter. In an 8 bit (24 bit color)

GNU Image Manipulation Program 459 / 653 15.5.2 Difference of Gaussians image systems. It is used in many types of imaging systems to straighten out a curved signal-to-light or intensity-to-signal response. For example, the light emitted by a CRT is not linear with regard to its to map the data into a perceptually linear domain, so that the limited signal range (the limited number of bits in each RGB signal) is better optimized perceptually. Gamma is used as an exponent (power)

Difference of Gaussians GNU Image Manipulation Program Generated where ways were sought for transmitting the color information, in addition to the black and white signal, in order to achieve backwards compatibility with old black and white televisions without having of the luma signals (also *Leuchtdichte* signal), the underlying RGB data is first *verrechnet* with the gamma value of the output device, and an R'G'B' signal is obtained.
