Study Notes

Image Representation

  • An image is divided into small areas called pixels (picture elements) to translate it into numbers.
  • Each pixel has a particular color, with modern computers able to show up to 16.7 million different colors.

Color Representation

  • Colors are represented as a combination of three primary colors: red, green, and blue (RGB color model).
  • Color depth refers to the total number of colors a screen can render, measured in bits.
  • Different color depths include:
    • 3bit: 8 colors
    • 8bit: 256 colors
    • 24bit: 16.78 million colors

Color Theory

  • The color wheel consists of primary colors, secondary colors, and a full color wheel.
  • Color schemes include:
    • Monochromatic
    • Analogous
    • Complementary
    • Split-complementary
    • Triadic
    • Tetradic

Color Terminologies

  • Hue: the color of an object
  • Saturation: the strength or weakness of a color
  • Chroma: the purity of a color
  • Shade: created by adding black to a pure hue
  • Tone: created by adding grey to refine a color
  • Value: shows how light or dark a hue is

Color Meanings

  • Yellow: joy, positive energy, zest
  • Black: mystery, power, grace, mature
  • Blue: serene, confident, tranquility
  • Red: passion, energy, power
  • Green: freshness, growth, natural, safety
  • White: purity, cleanliness, perfection, sophisticated
  • Purple: royalty, luxurious, creative
  • Pink: feminine, safe, delightful
  • Orange: creativity, intelligence, initiative, enthusiasm
  • Grey: elegance, uncertainty

Raster vs Vector Graphics

  • Raster graphics:
    • Made up of pixels
    • Resolution dependent
    • Cannot be scaled without losing quality
    • Best for photo-realistic elements
    • File formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG
  • Vector graphics:
    • Composed of geometric primitives and mathematical equations
    • Resolution independent
    • Can be scaled to any size without losing quality
    • Best for cartoon-like images and 3D modeling
    • File formats: Flash, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), CDR (CorelDraw), AI (Adobe Illustrator)

Vector Graphics

  • Based on mathematical formulas
  • Can be easily edited and modified
  • Smaller file sizes than raster graphics
  • Used for logos, illustrations, and precise shapes and lines

Color Palettes

  • Monochromatic: same hue in different shades and tones
  • Analogous: consistent images and texts with different shades of the same hue
  • Complementary: opposite colors in the color wheel (e.g. red and green)
  • Triadic: three colors at equidistant points in the color wheel (e.g. red, yellow, and blue)
