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