Best Answer

The image is split into a two dimensional grid of pixels. If the brightness of the pixel is below a certain value, it is considered black, otherwise it is considered white. Each pixel is mapped onto 1 bit in memory, and if it is white, a 1 is stored, else a 0 is stored. (Sometimes it is the other way round)
