Frederic Crockett Billingsley (23 July 1921 – 31 May 2002) was an American engineer, who spent most of his career developing techniques for digital image processing in support of American space probes to the moon, to Mars, and to other planets. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into image processing. ...
Fred published two papers in 1965 using the word pixel,[1] and may have been the first to publish that neologism for picture element. This example shows an image with a portion greatly enlarged, in which the individual pixels are rendered as little squares and can easily be seen. ...
He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and died in Great Falls, Montana.
