Computers see the world through pixels. Pixels are tiny squares that make up the image, each pixel is represented by a number, and each number represents a colour.
Images typically come in three formats, PNG, JPG and JPEG. PNG and JPG are lossless image types which means the data is not compromised and can be restored to original whereas a JPEG image is a lossy image type and that means the data is compromised and cannot be restored to original.
TonkaBI has found image quality to be a crucial aspect when developing computer vision software as it has a profound impact for identification. Check out this unique use case on why quality matters.
