Digital Camera Image Formation: Processing and Storage

This chapter presents a high-level overview of image formation in a digital camera, highlighting aspects of potential interest in forensic applications. The discussion here focuses on image processing, especially processing steps related to concealing artifacts caused by camera hardware or that tend to create artifacts themselves. Image storage format issues are also discussed.
