Coding an Image

We turn our attention to how to code an image in Excel. We will assume that our image is written in greyscale. The intensity of the grey can be measured between 0 and 255, where 0 is black and 255 is white. See Colors for more information about RGB coding and Greyscale for information about greyscale coding.

We use the concepts and techniques in this part of the website when we describe how to construct a neural network to recognize handwritten digits (0, 1, 2, …, 9).
