Ch 16: Dynamic Range Flashcards
This is a method of describing the extent to which a signal can vary and still maintain accuracy.
dynamic range
Dynamic range is reported in units of…
decibels (dB).
As a general rule, the dynamic range of information __ the more it is processed.
decreases
This is a technique that reduces the dynamic range of a signal without introducing errors.
compression
In compression, the largest signal ends as the…
largest.
In compression, the smallest signal ends as the…
smallest.
In compression, the range of signals is…
reduced.
The dynamic range of a display can be reported as the number of __ gray shades.
possible
Narrow dynamic range means __ gray shades.
fewer
Images that display few shades of gray are called…
high contrast.
Wide dynamic range means __ gray shades.
many
Images that display many shades of gray are called…
low contrast.
