Study Notes
How Computers Represent Data: Characters, Colors, and Images
- Computers represent data using a binary system, where information is stored as sequences of 0s and 1s.
- ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a standard code that uses 7-bit patterns to represent 128 characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters.
- Unicode is a more comprehensive standard that uses 16-bit patterns to represent a wider range of characters, including characters from different alphabets and languages.
Representing Color
- Computers represent color using the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model.
- Each pixel's color is defined by the intensity of its red, green, and blue components.
- Each component is typically represented by 8 bits, allowing for 256 possible intensity levels for each color.
- A pixel can be modeled using three bit patterns, each representing the intensity of the basic colors (red, green, and blue).
Image Compression
- Image compression reduces the amount of memory required to store an image.
- Lossless compression methods compress images without any loss of information, allowing for perfect reconstruction of the original image.
- Lossy compression methods reduce file size but sacrifice some image detail. They exploit the human eye's limitations in perceiving small differences, particularly in areas with high-frequency changes.
- JPEG (JFIF/JFI/JPG) is a commonly used lossy compression format for images, particularly for still photos.
Image File Formats
- GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a simple format that supports 8-bit color, making it suitable for basic graphics but not high-precision color images.
- TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is a general-purpose format known for its complexity and ability to handle diverse image types, including high-resolution images and multi-page documents.
- PostScript formats (BDF/PDL/EPS) use printable ASCII characters to store image data. Pixel values are encoded using 7-bit ASCII codes, allowing them to be edited with text editors.
- MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) formats (MPG/MPEG-1/MPEG-2) are stream-oriented encoding schemes for video, audio, text, and graphics. They allow for efficient compression of multimedia content.
