How are Flash images different from bitmap images?

swf is vector format, that means image can be re sized without loss of quality, but if you place bitmap or raster image in swf file when resized (enlarged) image will appear blurry.


Difference between Digital image processing and computer graphics?

There is always a confusion among the newbies about the difference between Image Processing and Computer Graphics. Unless specifically mentioned , Computer Graphics is all about Synthesizing a new image from Geometry , Lighting parameters , Materials and Textures . The Emphasis is on Digital Image Synthesis. Image Processing is the process of manipulating an image acquired through some device . The image too often will be acquired from photographs,scanners , medical equipments. The emphasis is on Analysis and Enhancement of the image. Computer Vision is an area where Image Analysis is used a lot. Raster Operations dominate in the case of image processing. In the case of Computer Graphics , you will mix vector and raster operations to generate the final image.


What is vector all about?

Vector describes both speed and direction. In graphic programs, a vector graphic scales smoothly (more so than a bitmap image).


What is the difference between finding the dot product and using scalar multiplication?

They give us different results. The dot product produces a number, while the scalar multiplication produces a vector.


How are a translation and a reflection alike?

translation and reflection are alike in the sense that they are generally both examples of an image being moved or changed, however translation is the movement of an image along a vector while reflections reflects an image over a given axis.

What is raster printing?

Raster printing refers to the method of printing which uses the raster image processor. The raster printing usually produces a raster image called a bitmap.

What is the download speed of a vector image?

vector graphics as smaller than raster graphics but the size depends on the size of the image but they are generally smaller in size than raster images(i.e images such as photos) and can scale up and down without losing quality.


Vector is the earliest or raster is the earliest?

Raster.


Which is appropriate for a project vector or raster graphics?

It all depends on the project. Raster images are resolution dependent, you loose quality if you enlarge the image. Vector graphics maintain image quality when enlarged and are best suited for logos, or any design that will be reproduced in different sizes.


What are the two categories of graphic image files?

How are GIFs stored?

As raster images, so if you have vector objects and choose to save as gif, you will not be able to change vector objects next time you open image.


What is Vector tracing?

Vector tracing, also known as vectorization, is the process of converting raster images or bitmap graphics into vector graphics. Raster images are composed of a grid of pixels, where each pixel contains color information, and they are resolution-dependent. This means that when you enlarge a raster image, the pixels become visible, resulting in a loss of quality and a pixelated appearance.


What is rasterization?

Rasterisation is the progressive scanning of an image in a line by line fashion. TV and computer displays are scanned left to right line by line and so are raster displays. Vectorisation or vector graphics are the opposite of rasterisation. In this method of display the image is drawn in a point to point method. An oscilloscope is an example of a vector display. Raster graphics have the advantage of having the same refresh rate all the time irrespective of the complexity and colour depth of the image drawn (this is not the same as the framerate). All home computers now use a raster display output. Vector graphics can be coloured but are line drawings only. Examples of this type of colour vector display is the 1980's game Starwars or the monochrome Vectrex games consol from the same period.
