This doesn’t cite the very significant example of DeepVariant (and as of 10/16/25 DeepSomatic) which convert genomic data to images in order to find DNA mutations. This has been done since the late 2010s

Using these definitions, mapping datapoints in a graph is also converting data into an image in order to analyze it.

Tabulating data into tables similarly converts image visually so that mistakes or outliers can be spotted.
