Conclusion
This chapter provided a comprehensive overview of digital image representation, delving into fundamental concepts like:
Pixels: The building blocks of digital images, forming a two-dimensional grid.
Resolution: The density of pixels, determining image sharpness and quality.
Color representation: Explored various models like RGB, HSV, and indexed color.
Image coding: Techniques used to encode pixel information based on color depth (bits per pixel).
The chapter highlighted the trade-off between image quality and data storage requirements. While higher resolutions and color depths offer finer details and more realistic colors, they also come at the cost of larger file sizes. Understanding these concepts equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions regarding image representation for various applications.
