Kuvaalueisiin

Kuva-alueisiin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the compound noun kuva-alue, meaning image area or image region. The word is used in technical contexts to refer to multiple subregions of an image and the actions performed on those subregions. Specifically, kuva-alueisiin is the illative plural form, indicating movement toward or application to the image regions, often translated as “into the image regions” or “to image regions” in English.

In practice, kuva-alueisiin appears in descriptions of image processing, computer vision, and related fields. For example, a typical sentence might state that an algorithm divided the input image into several kuva-alueisiin and analyzed the properties of each region. The plural form emphasizes that multiple regions are involved, while the illative suffix signals the direction or scope of the operation with respect to those regions.

Etymology and morphology: the term combines kuva (image) and alue (area) into a compound, kuva-alue. The form kuva-alueisiin adds the plural -et for kuva-alueet and the illative suffix -iin, yielding “into the image regions.” This kind of inflection is common in Finnish technical language, where compound nouns and case endings convey precise scope and direction of actions.

See also: kuva-alueet, kuva-aluerakenne, segmentointi, kohdealueet. Note that means and usage can vary by discipline, but kuva-alueisiin generally refers to actions directed toward multiple image regions.
