DC is the acronym for Direct Current in electrical systems. The DC offset is the amount that the signal is shifted above or below the axis; mathematically this is the mean amplitude of a wave signal.

What is AC component and DC component?
AC and DC are abbreviations for Alternating (Capacitive) Coupling and Direct Coupling. This setting is important as it will affect the frequency content of your data. Most signals are composed of AC and DC components. The DC component is the 0 Hz component that acts as an offset in the time domain.
What is a direct current component?
The DC component would be the constant voltage added to a pure AC waveform. For example, the true average voltage a pure AC waveform would be zero.
What is DC component of image?
In the context of an image the "DC" component is just the average (arithmetic mean) of the entire image. The term "DC" comes from the field of electrical engineering, where "DC" refers to direct current, or current flow that doesn't cycle periodically like alternating current (AC).
What is DC value in signals and systems?
For a sampled system, the DC value is defined as the mean value of the samples acquired in the specified measurement time window. Between pure DC signals and fast-moving dynamic signals is a gray zone where signals become more complex, and measuring the DC level of these signals becomes challenging.
