sampled

Sign waves that were converted from continuous to discrete form by dividing an interval into appropriate discrete smapling points at which samples are taken. The resulting collection of samples is the discrete form of the wave.

By referring to a collection of samples I do not imply a finite number of samples. A common source of confusion is confusing \"continuous vs. discrete\" with \"infinite vs. finite\".

Real world images are continuous and have no discrete units, whereas computer displays use discrete areas of information (pixels). To summarize an image as a series of discrete samples is to discretize it.

digitized

You would 'sample' the sine wave, using a 'sample-and-hold' circuit, and then digitize it (convert it into a binary equivalent) using an 'analog-digital converter'

I have never heard 'discretized' but with engineers, you never know.
