;;Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3 1-bit Images ? Each pixel is stored as a single bit (0 or 1), so also referred to as binary image. ? Such an image is also called a 1-bit monochrome image since it contains no color. ? Fig. 3.1 shows a 1-bit monochrome image (called “Lena” by multimedia scientists — this is a standard image used to illustrate many algorithms).;Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3 Fig. 3.1: Monochrome 1-bit Lena image.;Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3 8-bit Gray-level Images ? Each pixel has a gray-value between 0 and 255. Each pixel is represented by a single byte; e.g., a dark pixel might have a value of 10, and a bright one might be 230. ? Bitmap: The two-dimensional array of pixel values that rep- resents the graphics/image data. ? Image resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital image (higher resolution always yields better quality). – Fairly high resolution for such an image might be 1, 600 × 1, 200, whereas lower resolution might be 640 × 480.;Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3 ? Frame bu?er: Hardware used to store bitmap. – Video card (actually a graphics card) is used for this purpose. – The resolution of the video card does not have to match the desired resolution of the image, but if not enough video card memory is available then the data has to be shifted around in RAM for display. ? 8-bit image can be thought of as a set of 1-bit bit-planes, where each plane consists of a 1-bit representation of the image at higher and higher levels of “elevation”: a bit is turned on if the image pixel has a nonzero value that is at or above that bit level. ? Fig. 3.2 displays the concept of bit-planes graphically.;;Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3 Multimedia Presentation ? Each pixel is usually stored as a byte (a value between 0 to 255), so a 640 × 480 grayscale image requires 300 kB of storage (640 × 480 = 307, 200). ? Fig. 3.3 s
