2. 2 Digital Image

3. 3 Images constitute a continuous spatial distribution of the irradiance at a plane. Computers cannot handle continuous images but only arrays of digital numbers. Digital images consist of pixels. Each pixel represents a square region of the image on a square grid. Pixel value (gray value) represents intensity of the irradiance – 1-bit: 0  1 – 8-bit: 0  255 –10-bit: 0  1,023 –12-bit: 0  4,095 –24-bit: 0  16,777,215 Bitmap data in file. Digital Image

4. 4 Sufficient pixels make image look continuous Digital Image

5. 5 Color models - True color model: (Red,Green,Blue)=(0  255, 0  255, 0  255) - Others: Palettes/look-up table (LUT)/color map/index map/etc. Digital Image

21. 21 Digital image files Device independent image files - Microsoft Windows Bitmap “*.bmp” - Tag Image File Format “*.tif” - Graphics Interchange Format “*.gif” - JPEG File Interchange Format “*.jpg” - Many others Device dependent image files - Raw image formats (e.g. *.raww) - TSI image file Format “*.img” - DANTEC image file format “*.img” - LAVISION image file format “*.img” - Others

22. 22 Digital image files Basic components of a digital image –Header, Palette, Bitmap Data, Footer etc. Information in a bitmap header –File Identifier –File Version –Number of Lines per Image –Number of Pixels per Line –Number of Bits per Pixel –Number of Color Planes –Compression Type –X & Y Origin of Image –Text Description –Others –Unused Space

23. 23 Digital image files Microsoft Windows Bitmap –14-byte file header (Version 2.x +) Byte 1  2File type, always 4D42h (“BM”); Byte 3  6Size of the file in bytes; Byte 7  8Reserved 1, always 0; Byte 9  10Reserved 2, always 0; Byte 11  14Starting position of image data in bytes. –Bitmap header Byte 1  4Size of this header in bits; Byte 5  8Image width in pixels;(2 bytes for version 2.x) Byte 9  12Image height in pixels; (2 bytes for version 2.x) Byte 13  14Number of color planes; Byte 15  16Number of bits per pixel; (end of version 2.x) Byte 17  20Compression methods used; Byte 21  24Size of bitmap in Bytes; Byte 25  28Horizontal resolution in pixels per meter; Byte 29  32Vertical resolution in pixels per meter; Byte 33  36Number of colors in the image; Byte 37  40Minimum number of important colors. (end of version 3.x) Up to 108 bytes for Version 4.x

24. Microsoft Windows Bitmap –Color Palette One-, 4-, and 8-bit BMP files always contain a color palette 24-bit BMP files never contain color palettes –A 124×124-pixel uncompressed 8-bit gray-scale BMP file File header:14 bytes Bitmap header:40 bytes Color palette:1024 bytes Bitmap data:15376 bytes Total size:16454bytes 24 Digital image files Homework: write a program to read gray values at the center and 4 corners of image “image01.bmp”
