(1) A single dot on a computer display. (2) The smallest discrete part of a video image, the size of which is controlled by an analog-to-digital conversion sampling process. [The more picture elements per line, the higher the resolution of the image.
The dots that combine to form the image you see on a computer screen.
1. n. In computer graphics, the smallest element of a display surface that can be independently assigned color and intensity. 2. n. The area of the finest detail that can be reproduced effectively on the recording medium. 3. n. An element of a raster pattern about which a toned area on a photoconductor can appear.
The smallest area of TV picture defined by TV standard; usually refers to discrete value on a sampling grid; a color pixel is a triplet of values representing either red, green and blue intensity, or luminance and two color-difference intensity values. Synonyms: Pe; Pel; Pixel; Pxl
In a digitized image, the smallest addressable point on a video display device. At its simplest, each pixel may be described as either “on” (illuminated) or “off” (dark), or it may have different levels of intensity of illumination called gray scale.
The smallest discrete part of a video image, the size of which is controlled by the analog-to-digital conversion sampling process and subsequent other compression processes. The more picture elements per line, the higher the resolution of the image. To convert the number of H pixels to a close approximation of TV lines of resolution for the NTSC system, simply multiply the number of H pixels by 0.78. Furthermore, each 80 TV lines of resolution (NTSC) requires 1 MHz of analog bandwidth for transmission.
(computer science) the smallest discrete component of an image or picture on a CRT screen (usually a colored dot); "the greater the number of pixels per inch the greater the resolution"
a variable dot of light derived from video signals input to the display monitor
in a digital image, the area on the ground represented by each digital number
The smallest unit on a monitor, each individual pixel can be any colour out of over sixteen million, depending on the power of the computer generating it. Pixels also measure the resolution of a monitor's display, per inch.
In a digitized image this is the area on the ground represented by each digital value. Because the analog signal from the detector of a scanner may be sampled at any desired interval, the picture element may be smaller than the ground resolution cell of the detector. Commonly abbreviated as pixel.
A segment of a scan line, the smallest component of a video image or display. A pixel can be individually accessed or addressed, and consequently, manipulated by a computer.
Photo sensor site in an image sensor like CCD chip; converts the input light image to an electronic signal.
(Pixel) The basic unit of programmable color on a computer display or in a computer image.
On Macs the screen resolution is 72ppi, and of course there are 72 points to the inch. Pixels are not to be confused with dots, or dots per inch.
One of many monochrome or color "dots" that make up a television picture.
