511. Vector- vs. bit-based graphic-data storage

Subjects
Computer Graphics, Bit-Mapped Graphics, Computer-Aided Design, Computer-Aided Engineering, Business, Electronics and electrical industries
Abstract

The pros and cons of bit-based versus vector-based graphics are discussed in terms of their appropriateness for certain computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering (CAD-CAE) applications, and the principal difference is that vector-based files store only the starting and ending points on a line, while bit-based files retain every pixel. Bit-based packages are easier to use and provide more accurate displays, though they cannot accommodate extremely complex drawings due to the large memory required for storage. Though vector displays do not pan smoothly, or display as accurately, they store descriptions of arcs more accurately, and by using a photo-plotter, a smooth arc can be produced. Applications for analog pc-board design require vector-based graphics, while bit-based displays are needed for CAE because of the convenient tools and the ability to provide attractive documents. There are packages which offer the best features of both bit- and vector-based displays.

524. Digital images.

Author

Goodman, Jeff

Subjects
Digital images, Optical resolution, Bit-mapped graphics, Digitization
Abstract

Digital Digital images images are not images at all but rather are visual information encoded as binary data. Viewing a digital image requires a computer to decode binary information and display it on a screen in the form of an array of discrete lights called “picture elements” or “pixels.” The first computer-generated digital images were produced in the early 1960s. The needs of the Cold War, medicine, and the space race drove many developments in digital imagery, some of which were achieved in the context of projects on satellite imagery, medical imaging, optical character recognition, and photo enhancement. The advent of microprocessors in the 1970s and advances in digital storage and display technologies made possible sophisticated imaging tools, like computerized axial tomography (CAT scanning).
