CSEL311 Flashcards
The computer is an __________
information processing machine
It is a tool for _______, ________, and _______ data.
storing, manipulating, correlating
It displays the information in the form of graphics objects like ____, ______, _____, and ______.
pictures, charts, graphs and diagrams
Computer graphics makes it possible to express data in ______
pictorial form
Pictures or graphics objects are presented as a collection of discrete picture elements called _______.
pixels
It is the smallest addressable screen element. It is the smallest piece of the display screen which we can control.
pixels
Thus we can say that computer graphics concerns the ___________ of real or imaginary objects.
pictorial synthesis
The image processing can be classified as (IE)
image enhancement
The image processing can be classified as (PDR)
pattern detection and recognition
The image processing can be classified as (SA & CV)
scene analysis and computer vision
It deals with the detection and clarification of standard patterns and finding deviations from these patterns.
pattern detection and recognition
Example of pattern detection and recognition
optical character recognition (OCR) technology
With ________, users can also control the animation by adjusting the speed, the portion of the total scene in view, the geometric relationship of the objects in the scene to one another, the amount of detail shown and so on.
interactive graphics
The interactive graphics provides a tool called _______. With this tool, user can move and tumble objects with respect to a stationary observer, or he can make objects stationary and the viewer moving around them.
motion dynamics
The interactive graphics also provides a facility called ________. With this, it is possible to change the shape, colour or other properties of the objects being viewed.
update dynamics
With the recent development of ____________(DSP) and ________, the interactive graphics can now provide audio feedback along with the graphical feedbacks to make the simulated environment even more realistic.
digital signal processing, audio synthesis chip
Pictures found on the Web and photos you import from your digital camera are ________
raster graphics
Raster graphics are made up of a grid of pixels, commonly referred to as ______. The larger it is, the bigger the size.
bitmap
Raster graphics can typically be scaled down with no loss of quality, but enlarging a bitmap image causes it to look _____ and ________
blocky and pixelated
________ are often used for certain images, such as company logos, which need to be scaled to different sizes.
vector graphics
Making use of sequential commands or mathematical statements or programs which place lines or shapes in a 2-D or 3-D environment is referred to as ___________
vector graphics
The main difference between vector and raster graphics is that raster graphics are composed of ______, while vector graphics are composed of _____
pixels, paths
A ______ ______, such as a gif or jpeg, is an array of pixels of various colours, which together form an image.
raster graphic
Similar to the naive line-drawing algorithm, with minor variations.
Digital Differential Analyzer (graphics algorithm)
