1
New cards

pixel

Short for "picture element" it is the fundamental unit of a digital image, typically a tiny square or dot which contains a single point of color of a larger image.

2
New cards

RGB

the RGB color model uses varying intensities of (R)ed, (G)reen, and (B)lue light are added together in to reproduce a broad array of colors.

3
New cards

CMYK

A color system or model used for printing, that creates colors by blending different levels of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

4
New cards

hexadecimal

A base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols 0-9 and A-F to represent numbers from 0 to 15.

5
New cards

raster format image

An image represented by a grid of pixels - also known as bitmap. Can be scaled down with no quality loss, but when scaling up, can become fuzzy or pixelated.

6
New cards

raw format image

An original image from a digital camera that is neither processed nor compressed and is a larger file format.

7
New cards

jpeg format image

A processed and compressed image that is more accessible and generally has a smaller file format.

8
New cards

file formats

JPG, PSD, GIF, TIFF, PDF etc.

9
New cards

encoding

the processing of information into the memory system—for example, by extracting meaning.

10
New cards

Run Length Encoding

A compression algorithm that represents an image in terms of the length of runs of identical pixels

11
New cards

frequency

the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time

12
New cards

encoding scheme

set of rules that govern how a computer translates characters, numbers, and symbols into data the computer can actually work with

13
New cards

amplitude

Height of a wave

14
New cards

sampling

you take the sound every (SAMPLING RATE) and then build the digital wave

15
New cards

sampling rate

The rate at which an analog input is sampled in order to convert it to a digital stream of 1's and 0's.

16
New cards

bitmap

A geometric arrangement of different color dots on a rectangular grid computer

17
New cards

autotune

Digitally transforming out-of-tune bits of an audio file to improve the pitch and sound quality.

18
New cards

compression algorithm

A mathematical compression technique implemented as a program for translating data inputs into equivalent but smaller data outputs.

19
New cards

lossless data compression

reduces the file size without any loss of data quality

20
New cards

lossy compression

data compression techniques in which some amount of data is lost. This technique attempts to eliminate redundant information.
