Skannade

Skannade is a term that generally refers to the result of a scanning process. In its most common context, it means a document or image that has been converted from a physical form into a digital format using a scanner. This digital copy can then be stored, viewed, and shared electronically.

The process of scanning involves a device that captures an image of the physical object. This image is then translated into digital data, typically as a raster image file (like JPEG, PNG, or TIFF) or a searchable document format (like PDF). The quality of the scanned image depends on factors such as the resolution of the scanner, the lighting conditions, and the original quality of the physical item.

Beyond document scanning, the term can also be used in other technological contexts. For instance, in telecommunications, a radio receiver might "scan" through different frequencies to find a signal. In computing, a virus scanner "scans" files for malicious code. In medical imaging, various types of scans (like CT scans or MRI scans) produce detailed internal views of the body, and the resulting images could be referred to as "scanned" data. Ultimately, "skannade" signifies a digital representation derived from an original source through a scanning operation.
