Fundamentals of Data Representation
  1. Representing images
    1. Pixel: Picture Element; a single point in a graphical image
      1. VDUs display pictures by dividing the dispaly screen into thousands of pixels, arranged into rows and columns
      2. Bitmaps
        1. image resolution = width x hight
          1. Colour depth
            1. Number of bits used to represent each pixel
            2. File size= width x height x colour depth
          2. Representing Sound
            1. sound is analogue
              1. must be converted to a digital form for storage and processing in a computer
              2. Sampling
                1. Sample: measure of amplitude at a point in time
                  1. Sound waves are sampled to create the digital version of sound
                2. Digital representation of sound
                  1. sampling rate
                    1. number of samples taken in a second - measured in hertz
                    2. Sample resolution
                      1. the number of bits per sample
                      2. Sound File
                        1. rate x resolution x seconds
                    3. Data Compression
                      1. used to reduce file sizes
                        1. Lossless compressioon
                          1. reduces the size of a file without any damage to the file or reduction in quality
                            1. Examples
                              1. Huffman coding
                                1. Run length encoding
                              2. Lossy compression
                                1. permanently removes data from the file that the computer believes you can do without
                                  1. Examples
                                    1. MP3, MP4 and JPG
