23 Terms

1

bit

is the smallest unit of information stored or manipulated on a computer; it consists of either zero or one.

New cards
2

Digital images

are a collection of pixels. where each pixel consists of binary numbers.

New cards
3

Color

is based on light.

New cards
4

Images

are not often just black and white.

New cards
5

analog signal

exists throughout a continuous interval of time and takes on a continuous range of values.

New cards
6

digital signal

is a sequence of discrete symbols.

New cards
7

Sampling

is recording an analog signal at regular discrete moments and converting them to a digital signal.

New cards
8

Data compression

is useful in computing to save disk space, or to reduce the bandwidth used when sending data (eg, over the Internet).

New cards
9

Compression

is also an important consideration when it comes to backing up and archiving your important files, particularly for uploading over the Internet.

New cards
10

Lossless algorithms

are those that can reconstruct the original message exactly from the compressed message, and lossy algorithms can only reconstruct an appsimation of the original message.

New cards
11

Lossless compression

packs data in such a way that the compressed package can be decompressed, and the data can be pulled out exactly the same as it went in.

New cards
12

Text compression

is another important area for lossless compression.

New cards
13

Lossy compression

is a technique that does not decompress digital data back to 100% of the original.

New cards
14

Images

high image compression loss can be observed in photos when enlarged

New cards
15

Music

there is a difference between an MP3 music and a high-resolution audio file

New cards
16

Video

moving frames of video can handle a greater loss of pixels compared to an image

New cards
17

Data extraction

is the process of obtaining data from a database or software such as a social media website so that it can transport it to another software (such as spreadsheets) designed to support online analytical processing.

New cards
18

graph

is a pictorial representation, a diagram used to represent data.

New cards
19

Graphs and charts

represent data in points, lines, bars, pie charts, and scatter plots.

New cards
20

Picture graphs

use pictures to represent values.

New cards
21

Bar graphs

use either vertical or horizontal bars to represent the values.

New cards
22

Line graphs

use lines to represent the values.

New cards
23

Scatter plots

represent the data with points, and then a best-fit line is drawn through some of the points.
