The Pixel Calculator is intended primarily for use by students of
ages 12-17 in a variety of enrichment activities involving mathematics
and digital image processing. The actual computations supported
by the program are manipulations of pixel values using operations of
"pixel arithmetic."
The Pixel Calculator program provides a good introduction for students
to
The program also provides a calculator interface,
which allows students to arithmetically manipulate the
pixel values. Students quickly discover that very simple operations may
have stark visual effects. For example the "255 - #" operation creates a
negative of the image.
Here's a picture of the Pixel Calculator's user
interface. And here's how you can order
your very own copy of the Pixel Calculator for Microsoft Windows. Click here

The pixel calculator was written as part of the
METIP project and was supported in part by the
National Science Foundation under grant number MDR-9155709.
