Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography.

This first edition of ISO 12231-1 cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 12231:2012), which has been technically revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

• ISO 12231 was renamed ISO 12231-1;
• the formatting has been switched from a comprehensive vocabulary standard to a supplemental vocabulary standard, supplementing the ISO Online Browsing Platform;
• unlike previous editions of this document, this edition no longer includes terms and definitions that were defined by other ISO/TC 42 deliverables (Standards, Technical Specifications or Technical Reports).

Therefore, from this edition, this document consists of:

• a) originally-defined terms and definitions, and

• b) useful terms and definitions for electronic still picture imaging that are referred from other standard bodies outside of ISO/TC 42.

Introduction

Electronic still picture imaging concepts are drawn from traditional photography, electronics, video, and information technology. In some cases, the concepts are redefined to apply to electronic still picture imaging. For example, unlike traditional photography, measurements cannot be defined in terms of “film” or “sensitised material”, since images acquired by digital image capture devices are stored electronically and are not immediately exposed on film. The meaning of shutter and exposure time is also different for digital image capture devices, because an electronic imaging sensor typically has image acquisition characteristics that are different from those of film.

This document provides a vocabulary which standardizes the use and meaning of terms associated with electronic still picture imaging that were not defined by other ISO/TC 42 deliverables (see Annex A for a list of related WGs and documents). It is organized alphabetically and follows natural (English) word order wherever possible.
