IMAGES

• Bitmap images
• Made up of PIXELS
• Two dimensional matrix of pixels.

• Each pixel is represented by a binary number.


• Hence the image is stored as a series of binary numbers.
Think
• If each pixel has only one bit for
storage, how many colours can be
stored?

• 2 bits?

• 3 bits?
• The number of bits used to represent each colour is called the Colour
Depth.

• So an 8 bit colour depth means each pixel can be one of 256 colours.

• Modern computers have 24 bit colour depth.


Resolution
• The number of pixels that make up an image.
How does this relate to storage?
• High resolution more bitsmore size.
Data Storage
• Bit
• Byte
• Nibble
Memory size using the denary
system
• SI base 10 units
• Inaccurate
IEC- International Electrotechnical
Commission

• IEC memory size system


• Accurate
• Base 2
• 64GiB RAM = ?? bytes
• 64GiB RAM = 64 x 230 bytes
Calculating file size of
an image
• Data given :
• Image resolution X by Y pixels
• Colour depth (no of bits)

• File size = image resolution X colour depth (in bits)


Qn 1
• A photograph is 1024 × 1080 pixels and uses a colour depth of 32 bits.
How many photographs of this size would fit onto a memory stick of
64GiB?
Qn 1
A photograph is 1024 × 1080 pixels and uses a colour depth of 32 bits.
How many photographs of this size would fit onto a memory stick of
64GiB?
Total no of pixels = 1024 * 1080 =1105920 pixels
Colour depth = 32 bits = 32/8 = 4 bytes
Size in bytes = 1105920 * 4 = 4423680 bytes

64 GiB = 64 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 = 68719476736 bytes


Divide the memory stick size by the files size = 68719476736/4423680 =
15534 photos.
Qn 2
• A camera detector has an array of 2048 by 2048 pixels and uses a
colour depth of 16. Find the size of an image taken by this camera in
MiB.
Qn 2
• A camera detector has an array of 2048 by 2048 pixels and uses a
colour depth of 16. Find the size of an image taken by this camera in
MiB.

No of pixels = 2048 * 2048


Colour depth= bits per pixel = 16 bits = 16/8 = 2 bytes
Size in bytes = 2048 * 2048 * 2 = 8388608 bytes
Size in MiB = 8388608 / (1024 *1024) = 8 MiB
Calculating the size of a sound file
• Data given
• Sample rate in Hz
• Sample resolution in bits
• Length of sample in seconds
• Size= sample rate x sample resolution x length of sample
Qn 3
An audio CD has a sample rate of 44100 and a sample resolution of 16bits. The
music being sampled uses two channels to allow for stereo recording. Calculate
the file size for a 60-minute recording.

Size of file = sample rate (in Hz) × sample resolution (in bits) × length of sample (in seconds)
Qn 3
An audio CD has a sample rate of 44100 and a sample resolution of 16bits. The music being
sampled uses two channels to allow for stereo recording. Calculate the file size for a 60-minute
recording.
Size of file = sample rate (in Hz) × sample resolution (in bits) × length of sample (in seconds)

Sample rate = 44100


Sample resolution = 16 bits
No of channels = 2
Sample size = 44100 * 16 * 3600 * 2 = 5080320000 bits = 5080320000/8 bytes = 635040000 bytes
Size in MiB = 635040000 / (1024 *1024) = 605 MiB
