    The document discusses representing images digitally in computers. It explains that images with fewer colors require fewer bits per pixel. Increasing image resolution increases file size. Higher quality images with more details and colors also have larger file sizes. The document demonstrates how images are stored as binary data and how modifying individual pixel values affects the image. It introduces the concept of image compression using Run Length Encoding to store repeated pixel data more efficiently.

    Worksheet 4 Images

    Unit 1 Data representation

    Worksheet 4: Images
    Task 1
    (a) This image uses four colours so requires 2 bits per pixel. Shade in the image as a computer
    using the key.

    Key: 01 00 11 10

    (b) Calculate the file size of the following images:

    Image Number of Colour depth File size in File size in


    Resolution colours in bits bits Bytes
    Image 1 20 x 20 8
    Image 2 10 x 10 8
    Image 3 20 x 20 4

    Unit 1 Data representation

    (c) How does increasing the image resolution affect the file size?

    (d) Explain the relationship between image quality and file size.

    Task 2
    If you have access to computers with Photoshop or a similar graphics package installed that will
    handle .PBM files, you can demonstrate the effect of editing individual pixel values in binary.
     Open the file Boat.pbm in Photoshop.
     Open the file again in Notepad. This displays the binary values representing the boat:
    10 10
    0000100000
    0001100000
    0011101000
    0111101100
    1111101110
    0000101000
    1111111111
    0111111110
    0011111110
    0000000000
     Using Notepad, alter the 0s and 1s, save it with a different name and open the amended
    file in Photoshop.
     You should see the effect of your changes!

    Task 3
    Image Compression

    Look at the image below: 14px

    10px

    11011010 00100101 00110010 10100101

    The first and second rows of the image above would be stored as 14 lots of 11011010:

    11011010, 11011010, 11011010, 11011010, 11011010, 11011010, 11011010,


    11011010, 11011010, 11011010, 11011010, 11011010¸ 11011010, 11011010

    The same data could be stored as 00001110-11011010 (14 [binary 00001110] lots of
    11011010) without losing any information required to piece together the image again.
    This is known as RLE or Run Length Encoding.

    Record the data for the third, fourth and fifth lines in the image:
    Line
    number Binary image data

    1 00001110-11011010

    2 00001110-11011010
