A mathematical operation, defined as the remainder after an integer division.

Thus a mod b = 'the smallest positive remainder of a' after subtracting as many times b as possible. 

Examples:

 15 mod 4 = 3 since 15-3*4 = 3
 42 mod 9 = 6 since 42-4*9 = 6
 15 mod 5 = 0 since 15-3*5 = 0, etc ...

In image processing, to say that a resolution is ''mod 16'' means that the both the width and height are a multiple of ''16'', i.e. '''width mod 16 = 0''' and '''height mod 16 = 0'''.

Sometimes written as 'mod8', 'mod16' etc.
