Graphics Elements Les3 Flashcards
An ___ is a spatial representation of an object, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional scene or another image.
image
Often the images reflect the ___ of lights.
intensity
Most photographs are called ___ because the method used to develop the photograph creates the illusion of perfect continuous tone throughout the image.
continuous-tone images
Images stored and processed by computers, displayed on computer screens, are called ___ although they often look like continuous tone.
digital images
digital images are represented by a matric of numeric values each represents a ___
quantized intensity
The smallest element on a digital image is known as a ___— a picture element.
pixel
A ___ consists of a (usually rectangular) matrix of pixels.
digital image
The ___ of an image is the number of bits used to represent
each pixel
depth
1-bit black-and-white image, also called ___
bitmap image
__–bit can represent 16 colors, used in low resolution screens
(EGA/VGA)
4
___can have 256 colors. The 256 color images are often
known as indexed color images. The values are actually
indexes to a table of many more different colors. For
example, Color 3 is mapped to (200, 10, 10).
8-bit
___ 256 grey-levels. The image contains only brightness/intensity data without color information.
8-bit grey
16-bit can have 65,536 colors, also known as ____ in Windows systems. The 16 bits are divided into5 bits for RED, 6 bits for
GREEN and 5 bits for BLUE
hi-color
___ 224 = 16,777,216 colors, true color. Each byte is used to represent the intensity of a primary color, RED, GREEN and BLUE.
24-bit
___- 232 = 4,294,967,296 (4G). Usually, 3 bytes are used to represent the three primary colors and the fourth byte is used as the alpha channel.
32-bit
___ is the number of pixels in an image. 320 x 240 = 76800 pixels, 700 x 400 = 280000 pixels
Image resolution
___- refers to number of dots per inch (dpi) on a monitor. Windows systems usually have 96dpi
resolution.
Display (Monitor) resolution
____ refers to number of dots per inch (dpi) on a (hard copy) output device. Many printers have 300dpi or 600 dpi resolution. High-quality image setters can print at a range
between 1200dpi and 2400dpi, or higher. The above image printed on a 300dpi printer will be 0.96 x 0.72 inch
Output resolution
Instead of using pixels, objects can be represented by their attributes, such as size, color, location, and so on. This type of graphics is known as ___.
vector graphics, or vector drawing
A ___ file contains graphics primitives, for circles, lines. example, rectangles,
