The image co-ordinate system starts at .................. .

  • A.Bottom left corner
  • B.Bottom right corner
  • C.Top left corner
  • D.Top right corner

Answer: C

The image co-ordinate system starts at the top left corner.

A digital image is a grid of pixels stored row by row, as it is scanned or displayed. Its co-ordinate origin (row 0 or 1, column 0 or 1) is therefore the upper left pixel; column numbers increase to the right and row numbers increase downwards.

This differs from the usual map or Cartesian convention, in which the origin is at the bottom left and y increases upwards, which is why the bottom left option is the common mistake. Georeferencing has to account for that flipped row axis.
