3-5 STORING IMAGES<br />

Images are stored in computers using two different<br />

techniques: raster graphics and vector graphics.<br />

Raster graphics<br />

Raster graphics (or bitmap graphics) is used when we<br />

need to store an analog image such as a photograph. A<br />

photograph consists of analog data, similar to audio<br />

information. The difference is that the intensity (color) of<br />

data varies in space instead of in time. This means that data<br />

must be sampled. However, sampling in this case is<br />

normally called scanning. The samples are called pixels<br />

(picture elements).
