Also called resolving power.
Resolution is a measurement of the binocular's ability to distinguish fine detail. Better resolution also provides more intense color. Resolution varies directly with the size of the objective lens. All else being equal, a larger objective lens will always deliver more detail than a smaller one regardless of the magnification. Actual resolution hinges on a variety of factors: the quality of the optical components, light transmission through the binoculars, existing atmospheric conditions, optical and mechanical alignment (collimation) and visual acuity of the individual.

An often misused term attempting to define the ability of the hardware to reproduce fine picture details. For instance, the expression ' Resolution is 800 pixels' hints about hardware capability to resolve 800 tvl (400 c/aph). In fact, this is not correct because nothing is said about the contrast of the high spatial frequencies, so the actual resolution could be much lower. The Spatial Frequency at which the fine texture contrast drops to the threshold of visibility (e.g. 500 tvl at the noise leel). Usually it is with reference to some specified texture orientation, e.g. "vertical resolution is 288 tvl" or "diagonal resolution is measured at 45 degrees orientation" Number of bits in quantized sample digital representation; e.g. " 10-bit resolution"

Resolution is the measurement of an optical device's ability to produce a sharp image by distinguishing fine detail. Better resolution provides a clearer image and delivers more intense color. Resolution varies in relation to the size of the objective lens. Generally, a larger objective lens will deliver more detail to the eye than a smaller objective lens, regardless of the magnification of the binocular. Actual resolution is determined by the quality of the optical components, the type and quality of the optical coatings, atmospheric conditions, collimation (i.e. proper optical alignment), and the visual acuity of the user.

In an optical context, a measure of the ability of input and output devices or of photographic films to visualize two adjacent dots independent of one another. The resolution depends on the physical properties of the visualizing or recording device or material and is usually limited by the wavelength of the light source. Resolution is usually given in dots per inch (dpi) or in lines per millimeter.
it is a parameter of local quality of a cartography and corresponds to the dimensions of the smallest particular represented on the vectorial cartography and to the length of the cell side (pixel in the raster format).

Similar to spatial resolution except that it applies to frequency, spectral resolution is the ability of the telescope to differentiate two light signals which differ in frequency by a small amount. The closer the two signals are in frequency while still allowing the telescope to seperate them as two distinct components, the higher the spectral resolution of the telescope. (See also text in HighSpec and FreqRes.)
The resolution of an image is the quality of a digital image. Not the artistic quality of course, but how much detail is displayed. There are three definitions of resolution used and mixed up frequently. They are ppi (pixels per inch), dpi (dots per inch) and lpi (lines per inch). The resolution is the number of pixels, lines or dots used to fill an inch of monitor, paper or film. 300 dpi means your inkjet will use 300 drops of colour per inch of paper. 96 ppi means your monitor will display 96 pixels per inch of montior, and 300 lpi means your laser writer will use 300 lines per inch when writing your image.

The degree of clarity of a display or printer image. Resolution is usually specified in dots per inch (DPI). The higher the resolution, or the greater the number of DPI, the sharper the image. For film recorders, resolution usually refers to the number of lines that make up the entire screen on a display or on film. The resolution of film recorders ranges from the low PC standard (200 lines for CGA to 350 lines for EGA) up to 10,000 lines.
output: A measurement of the clarity and sharpness of a screen or printed document. Resolution is measured in dpi (dots per inch). The greater the dpi the higher the resolution and the smoother the graphics and text will be. A Classic Mac screen has a resolution of 72 dpi, which is the standard upon which software is written. Some monitors deviate from 72 dpi, so documents may look larger or smaller that they will print out. Check the application's ruler. A LaserWriter has a resolution of 300 dpi while a Linotronic can go up to 2540 dpi. Resolution in halftones is measured in lines (of dots) per inch, which must be converted to dpi by a sophisticated algorithm such as PostScript.
The ability of a lens to discern small detail; in photography, the image resolution in the final photograph depends on the resolving power of the sensitive emulsion and on that of the lensóthe two are not related, but the effective resolution is a function of both; for reasonably accurate photographic measurements of lens resolution, the sensitive material must therefore have a much greater resolving power than the lens.
(1) In general, a measure of the finest detail distinguishable in an object or phenomenon. (2) In particular, a measure of the finest detail distinguishable in an image.
A measure of the level of detail in a RASTER GRAPHIC, measured in PIXELS per inch or pixels per centimeter. The greater the number of pixels per inch, the smaller each individual pixel is, and the greater the detail that can be reproduced with accuracy. Increasing the physical size of a raster graphic decreases the resolution; an image with 300 pixels per inch at 6 inches wide will contain 150 pixels per inch if increased to 12 inches wide. Most low-resolution graphics intended for display on a computer monitor or on the World Wide Web are created at 72 pixels per inch. This is not suitable for reproduction in print; for print reproduction, the image should be 300 pixels per inch or higher, depending on the HALFTONE SCREEN used to print it.

The degree of sharpness of a displayed or printed character or image. On screen, resolution is expressed as a matrix of dots. For example, the VGA resolution of 640x480 means 640 dots (pixels) across each of the 480 lines. Sometimes the number of colors are added to the spec; for example, 640x480x16 or 640x480x256. The same resolution looks sharper on a small screen than a larger one.
A measure of sharpness or clarity on a monitor.
The number of pixels that a monitor can display (width x height). Common values are 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768. The higher the number, the finer the detail that can be shown.
As in image resolution — meaning how much detail an image can hold, mostly referring to digital images. Higher resolution means more image detail. In image editing programs, the most common convention of describing resolution is in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI). Our lowest preferred image resolution for printing is 100 pixels/inch.
The smallest distinguishable increment into which a quantity can be divided.
A term which describes the degree to which estimated main effects are aliased (or confounded) with estimated 2-level interactions, 3-level interactions, etc. In general, the resolution of a design is one more than the smallest order interaction that some main effect is confounded (aliased) with. If some main effects are confounded with some 2-level interactions, the resolution is 3. Note: Full factorial designs have no confounding and are said to have resolution "infinity". For most practical purposes, a resolution 5 design is excellent and a resolution 4 design may be adequate. Resolution 3 designs are useful as economical screening designs.

The quality of graphics expressed in number of dots per inch (dpi). Higher resolution – more dpi – higher quality image. 300dpi most common for print applications, 72 dpi often used for web viewing.
In a general sense, the term resolution pertains to how sharp and clear an image looks on the screen or in print, and how much detail you can see; it refers to how finely resolved an image appears to be. In a low resolution image, fine lines look coarse and overlap one another, and curves are obviously jaggedy. The higher the resolution, the less you notice these defects. If you're being quantitative, you can express the resolution of a particular screen, printer, or bitmap graphic in numbers.
Resolution defines the capability of an optical system, such as a video screen, or of a scanning device such as an OCR, or of a printer, to make clear and distinguishable the separate parts or components of an object. In video graphics, the resolution is the number of pixels into which the display area can be divided, counted as the number of horizontal and vertical pixels. For example, a resolution of 640 by 200 pixels indicates a display area with 640 pixels across the screen and 200 pixels vertically. The greater the resolution, the more display memory is needed to produce the screen image. Printer and scanner resolution usually is expressed in dpi, dots per inch.
Ability to discriminate fine detail in an image, a spectrum or data. The angular resolution of a telescope is the smallest angle between two point objects that produces distinct images. In a spectrum, the resolution determines how well closely spaced features in the wavelength spectrum can be detected.

The measurement of how many pixels a scanner can sample in a given image.
The number of pixels displayed in an image. For example, the BidPlus program uses specific screen mapping and requires a screen resolution of 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically.
Resolution refers to the capability of an optical system, such as a video screen, or of a scanning device such as an OCR, or of a printer, of making clear and distinguishable the separate parts or components of an object. In video graphics, the resolution refers to the number of pixels in which the display area can be divided, determined by the number of horizontal and vertical pixels. For example, a resolution of 640 by 200 pixels indicates a display area with 640 pixels across the screen and 200 pixels vertically. The greater the resolution, the more display memory is needed to produce the screen image. With high resolution printers, the output is "Letter quality".

Your monitor display breaks everything down into tiny elements called pixels. Resolution is the number of pixels your monitor can display. With higher resolution numbers selected, you can display more information in your browser window, but the text and images will be slightly smaller. If you need to use scroll bars at the bottom of your screen in order to read all the text on many Web pages, your monitor may not be set at the most ideal resolution.
The number of dots per inch (dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi) that a computer device, such as a monitor or printer, can produce. A digital photograph's resolution, or image quality, is measured by the image's width and height as measured in pixels. The higher the resolution of an image--the more pixels it has--the better it's image quality. An image with a resolution of 2,048 x 3,072 ppi has better resolution and more photographic quality than the same image digitized at 128 x 192 ppi.
The ability of microfilm or a photographic system to record fine detail.
Refers to the maximum number of vertical lines / pixel elements (horizontal resolution) a video camera is capable of displaying on a monitor or registering with a video recording device. Horizontal resolution indicates the number of pixel elements placed horizontally across each scanning line of resolution (vertical resolution). Horizontal resolution varies based on the abilities of each different camera and each different monitor. Although the number of TV lines of horizontal resolution is generally considered a measure of a camera's level of detail and sharpness, this specification does not always indicate true end video quality.
Refers to something quite a bit different than what is generally considered to be resolution. Video display on a monitor requires the image to be constantly shifting (scanning) in order to display in real time. For instance, NTSC format video is based on a 525 scanning lines operating at a frequency of 60 Hz (PAL format is 625 lines, 50 Hz) for transmission and display of video images. This is an interlaced system in which each frame is scanned in two fields of 262 lines, which is then combined to display a complete frame of video with 525 scan lines. Scan lines (also referred to as "vertical resolution") of video are equivalent for each different video format, but every device must comply with these standards. Horizontal resolution, on the other hand, indicates the number of pixel elements contained placed horizontally across these scanning lines. Horizontal resolution varies based on the abilities of each different camera and each different monitor.
For both CRTs and LCDs, the number of pixels in the whole image. For example, a resolution of 1,280x1,024 pixels means that 1,024 lines are drawn from the top to the bottom of the screen, and each of these lines is made up of 1,280 separate pixels.
Image resolution is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the resolution, the greater the level of detail. Resolution can be specified as the number of pixel-columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g. 320x240. Alternatively, the total number of pixels (usually in megapixels) in the image can be used. In analog systems it is also common to use other format designations, such as CIF, QCIF, 4CIF, etc.
The degree of sharpness of a displayed image. On screen, resolution is expressed as a matrix of pixels. For example, a SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 translates to 800 pixels horizontally and 600 pixels vertically, or 480,000 pixels total. The larger the pixel count, the greater a projector's resolution.

Designated in pixels per inch (ppi). monitor resolution: The number of picture elements displayed on a monitor - usually 72 pixels per inch (ppi). If your image has a higher resolution than the monitor's resolution, the image will appear larger than when it is printed. image resolution: Image resolution refers to any stored pixel information (pixels per inch), such as that recorded by a digital camera or a program like Adobe Photoshop. Scan resolution, the ppi recorded at the scanning stage is another type of image resolution output resolution: The number of dots per inch your output device produce. Devices such as printers use tiny dots to represent type, line art and continuous tones.

The larger the number of dots, and thus the higher resolution, the finer and smoother images can appear when displayed at a given size. Low resolution caused jagged characters. The ideal resolution is a trade-off between quality and the overhead in storage power and processing strength required to use it.
The quality of a digital image, largely based on the number of pixels used to create the image. More and smaller pixels adds detail and sharpens edges. The file format comes into play also.

Resolution is measured by the amount of pixels an image contains in height and width. For professional printed reproduction, the resolution of a bitmap graphics file must be between 1.5 and 2.5 times the resolution of the line screen.
This refers to the number of dots on a screen. The higher the resolution, the greater the number of dots vertically and horizontally, the finer the graphics image your computer can display.
Refers to the number of pixels a television is capable of displaying. A higher resolution usually corresponds to a sharper image.
The resolution of a format is measured in the number of vertical lines that can be resolved. This is measured using a signal comprising of alternate black and white lines, gradually increasing the number of lines. At some point these lines become blurred into grey.

The resolution in vertical and horizontal directions can be different, as the vertical resolution is governed by the step size of the scan head. The higher the resolution, the higher the volume of data to be processed.
VIDEO: in digital displays, it is the number of pixels along the width and height of the picture. In any display, it is an assessment of the clarity of details in the picture. This can be different for stationary and moving objects, and the perceived resolution can be different from that which is technically defined. AUDIO: a loosely defined term used to describe perceptions of small details in music. See: Pixel
Describes the output precision of computer peripherals such as screens, printers and scanners. For computer screens resolution is defined as the number of pixels that can be displayed such as 800 x 600 (the first value is the number of pixels on a line, and the second value is the number of lines). For other devices, DPI is commonly used to define resolution. For both measures of resolution, it is always the higher the better.
Resolution determines how sharp an image looks and is used when describing printers, monitors and graphics. Printed graphics normally have a resolution of 300dpi (dots per inch) whilst most computer monitors have a resolution is 72dpi.

The resolution of an image describes how fine the dots are that make up that image. The more dots (per inch, for example), the higher the resolution. When displayed on a monitor, the dots are called pixels.
In digital terms, resolution refers to the density of data in a digital file. In general, the higher the resolution of a digital file, the more information it contains and the more stunning the final print will be when creating enlargements. In print terms, resolution refers to the level of detail in a print that’s been produced, measured in d.p.i. (dots per inch). A highly detailed print has high resolution – and a tight dot pattern – while a print with little detail has low resolution – and a looser dot pattern.

The particular pixel density of an image, or the number of dots per inch a device is capable of recognizing or producing. In anaolgue photography it´s dependent upon the resolving power of the lens and the film emulsion. In digital photography it's dependent upon the resolving power of the lens and the number of pixels detectable by the image sensor.
Resolution in the printing industry refers to print quality. The better the resolution on a printed photo the clearer it looks. The higher the resolution the better the printed material looks. Low resolution would mean that there may have been some ink bleed causing the printed material to look a little fuzzy or softer image and not shape and clear as a high resolution paper would have. Soft gloss photo inkjet papers are designed to have a lower resolution giving your printed photo a softer look which some people like.
Resolution is what determines the sharpness and clarity of the viewing image. It is expressed as the number of pixels from left to right (or columns) by the number of pixels from top to bottom (or rows).

A digital photograph's resolution, or image quality, is measured by the image's width and height in pixels. When a slide or negative is converted from silver grain into pixels, the resulting digital image can be made at different resolutions. The higher the resolution of an image--the more pixels it has--the better the visual quality. An image with a resolution of 3072x2048 pixels has better resolution and more photographic quality than the same image digitized at 192x128 pixels.
There are two common definitions for resolution. One refers to the level of detail a CCD camera can capture, usually expressed in arcseconds per pixel. Smaller pixels produce a higher resolution, meaning smaller details can be seen. Resolution is also taken to mean the total number of pixels in a CCD chip or in a CCD image. Often this is given as width and height in pixels, similar to computer screen resolution. For example, a CCD chip might have a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels.

Sharpness of an image on film, paper, computer screen or other medium. Often used when describing the how many pixels are used in a given area. Images with a higher resolution can be printed in larger sizes with out distortion.
The extent to which closely juxtaposed objects can be distinguished as separate entities. The degree of resolution is dependent on the resolving power of the system; the fineness of detail with which objects may be visualized is determined by the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation used. X-rays, for example, have wavelengths in the range 10-8m to 10-11m and hence can be used to resolve structures at the atomic level. Structures are thus said to be determined, for example, to 3 Ǻ resolution, 5 Ǻ resolution, etc.
The number of dots, or pixels contained on an entire screen, often expressed as the number of pixels wide multiplied by the number of pixels high (i.e. 320x320). Resolution is often used to describe the sharpness or clarity of an image. A higher resolution enables a screen to display more information within the fixed physical dimensions of the screen.

1. The fineness of detail attained by a printer or a monitor in producing an image. For printers that form characters from small, closely spaced dots, resolution is measured in dots per inch, or dpi, and ranges from about 125 dpi for low-quality dot-matrix printers to about 600 dpi for some laser and ink-jet printers (typesetting equipment can print at resolutions of over 1000 dpi). For a video display, the number of pixels is determined by the graphics mode and video adapter, but the size of the display depends on the size and adjustment of the monitor; hence the resolution of a video display is taken as the total number of pixels displayed horizontally and vertically. See the following table. See also high resolution, low resolution. k:\compdict\database\3050.doc 2. The process of translation between a domain name address and an IP address.

Resolution is the amount of picture data in a specific area of a picture. It is usually defined in pixels per inch. The higher the resolution, the more precision and clarity are in the picture. However, increasing the resolution also increases the file size of a picture.
The number of dots available to represent graphic detail in a given area. On a computer screen, resolution is measured in pixels per (liner) inch, or ppi; on a printer, it's measured in dots per (linear) inch, or dpi, on a scanner, in pixels or dots per (linear) inch; and in a halftone, in lines per (linear) inch, or LPI. The sharpness of definition of a digitized image depends on the number of PPI, DPI, or LPI.

The density of lines or dots for a given area that make up an image. Resolution determines the detail and quality in the image. A measure of the ability of a camera or video system to reproduce detail, or the amount of detail that can be seen in an image. Resolution is often expressed as a number of pixels, but more correctly it is the bandwidth. We say that a sharp, clear picture has high resolution. Also see Resolution (horizontal) and Resolution (vertical)
The amount of resolvable detail in a vertical direction in a video image. It is expressed as the number of distinct horizontal lines, alternately black and white, that can be seen in a test pattern. Vertical resolution is primarily determined by the number of horizontal scanning lines in a frame.
The amount of detail in a horizontal direction in a video image. It is expressed as the number of distinct vertical lines, alternately black and white that can be seen in 3/4 of the width of the picture. This information is usually derived from observation of the vertical wedge of the test pattern. Horizontal resolution depends on the high-frequency amplitude and phase response of the pick-up equipment, as well as the transmission medium and the monitor itself.
Described in dots per inch (dpi), resolution refers to the clarity and detail of an image. On a 15-inch monitor there are usually 680 pixels of width, times 480 lines of height. This multiplies to a total of around 300,000 pixels, or a resolution of around 50 dpi. The higher the dpi, the more clear and precise the image will appear.
The number of pixels displayed on the screen is referred to as the resolution, and the value is represented by the number of horizontal pixels times (x) the number of vertical pixels. Raising the resolution from 800x600 to 1600x1200, for example, will provide enhanced image quality but generally at the expense of lower frame rates.
The amount of resolvable detail in the horizontal direction in a picture. It is usually expressed as the number of distinct vertical lines, alternately black and white, which can be seen in a distance equal to picture height.
The measurement of the number of pixels in the X and Y axis. Most resolutions use a 4:3 ratio for width to height. The higher the resolution, the more defined the picture. Resolution is independent to screen size.
The crispness or clarity of an image or typeface either on a monitor or an output device.
The amount of resolvable detail in the horizontal direction in a picture. It is usually expressed as the number of distinct vertical lines, alternately black and white which can be seen in three quarters of the width of the picture. This information usually is derived by observation of the vertical wedge of a test pattern. A picture which is sharp and clear and shows small details has good, or high, resolution. If the picture is soft and blurred and small details are indistinct it has poor, or low, resolution. Horizontal resolution depends upon the high-frequency amplitude and phase response of the pickup equipment, the transmission medium and the picture monitor, as well as the size of the scanning spots.
The amount of resolvable detail in the vertical direction in a picture. It is usually expressed as the number of distinct horizontal lines, alternately black and white, which can be seen in a test pattern. Vertical resolution is primarily fixed by the number of horizontal scanning lines per frame. Beyond this, vertical resolution depends on the size and shape of the scanning spots of the pickup equipment and picture monitor and does not depend upon the high-frequency response or bandwidth of the transmission medium or picture monitor.
A measure of the ability of a CCTV system, or one of its components, to produce detail. Usually measured in pixels.
refers to a measure of the detail that can be seen in an image; the higher the resolution, the finer the detail that can be seen.
Unit of measure for any device which accesses, stores, displays or prints data in a grid pattern. Measured in pixels-per-inch (ppi) for scanning, image data and monitor displays, or dots-per-inch (dpi) for printers. Always given as the number of grid "elements" wide by the number of grid "elements" high. Generally, the higher the resolution (ppi or dpi) the more clear and color-accurate the image will be. (Example: Macintosh monitors display images on screen using a grid which measures 72 x 72 ppi. Current printers place dots of toner or ink on a page using a grid which measures at least 600 x 600 dpi.) (See also: Screen Resolution, Line Screen)
The sharpness or clarity of an image. The term is commonly used to described monitors, printers, and graphic images. For images, the resolution is expressed in terms of ppi, or the number of pixels which describe an inch (of the printed image). On physical objects, resolution is expressed in terms of dpi (dots per inch).
the number of pixels (in both height and width) making up an image. The more pixels, the higher the resolution; the higher the resolution , the greater its clarity and definition and the greater the file size. Can be expressed as a ratio (640 x 480 pixels) or in terms of dots per inch (dpi). It is recommended that you use between 72 and 100 dpi for images that will be displayed on the screen, and 300 dpi for images that will print on common inexpensive printers.
How many dots or pixels there are in an inch. Computer screens have approximately between 72 and 96.
The minimal change or difference in a measurement (coordinate, force, tilt) that a digitizer reports
Resolution is the maximum number of pixels which can be displayed or reproduced by a computer monitor. Resolution is expressed as the number of pixels a monitor can display on one line by the number of lines which can be displayed. Therefore, a resolution of 1024 x 768 means a monitor can display 768 lines on the screen, each containing 1024 pixels. The greater the number of pixels which can be displayed in a given area, the smaller each pixel is and the better the quality of the resulting image. See also pixel and dot pitch.
The quality of an image. It's measured in dots per inch (dpi) - the more dots per inch, the better the quality. As an example, on a web page, the typical resolution of an image is 72dpi but a photograph would need to be at least 300dpi.
A measure of how clear and crisp an image appears on a monitor. As each piece of CCTV equipment included within a system contributes to the overall image quality, the resultant image can only be as clear as the piece of equipment with the lowest resolution. If you are using a high-resolution monitor together with a low-resolution camera, the monitor can only display low-resolution images. This observation becomes increasingly important when using the system for webcams and recording.

Resolution is a measure of graphics that's used to describe what a printer can print, a scanner can scan, and a monitor can display.
In chromatography, the quality of separation is measured in terms of the purity of the resulting components. The higher the resolution (the more clearly those fractions are separate and distinguishable from one another), the greater the purity.
The minimum feature size that a process can be expected to reproduce. In the XY plane it can depend on pixels, laser spot size and mechanical precision. In the Z dimension it depends on the layer thickness.
The number of dots per inch (dpi) in bitmap form - the higher the number, the more precise or crisp an image will appear. In computer video, the number of pixels shown on a screen - the higher the number, as measured pixels horizontally and vertically, the more precise the picture image.
The number of dots or pixels per inch (sometimes per centimetre) used to create the screen image.
The quantity of horizontal and vertical pixels. An optimal image quality is achieved when the resolution of the PC graphic card complies with the resolution of the projector. For laptops it is the resolution of the built-in monitor.
The quality of any digital image, whether printed or displayed on a screen, depends in part on its resolution-the number of pixels used to create the image. More and smaller pixels adds detail and sharpens edges. (1) Optical Resolution is an absolute number that the camera's image sensor can physically record. (2)Interpolated Resolution adds pixels to the image using complex software algorithms to determine what colour they should be. It is important to note that interpolation doesn't add any new information to the image - it just makes it bigger
The resolution of a monitor or printer indicates how many pixels can be displayed or printed. In the case of digital cameras and scanners, the resolution determines how many pixels can be acquired by the device. The standard unit of resolution is dpi (dots per inch). The typical resolution for print material is 300 dpi (equivalent to around 118 dots per centimeter). In order to save space, internet pictures are usually only produced to 72 dpi. A general rule of thumb is: the higher the resolution, the better the picture quality.
The number of dots in a square inch used to create text or graphics. High-resolution images have more dots per inch and look smoother than low-resolution images.
The number of dots used to represent an image, expressed as (horizontal dots) x (vertical dots).
The number of pixels that makes up screen area. VGA: 640 pixels x 480 pixels SVGA: 800 pixels x 600 pixels XGA: 1024 pixels x 768 pixels SXGA: 1280 pixels x 1024 pixels
The density of pixels available to create sharpness in the screen image. For example, a monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 pixels running horizontally and 768 pixels running vertically for a total of 786,432 pixels available to create an image. Each pixel consists of a red, green or blue sub-element to allow different colors to be displayed.
Resolution reflects the density of lines, and dots per line which make up a visual image. It is measured by the number of pixels displayed. The level of resolution directly affects picture quality. Usually the higher number of lines and dots means also sharper and more detailed picture. Analog TV has a little over 200,000 color pixels while HDTV, with 1080 vertical pixels and 1920 horizontal ones, has more than 2 million pixels creating the image.
The degree of sharpness, or clarity, of what you see on a computer screen. The resolution on computer monitors is measured by the number of dots, or pixels, of color that are displayed across and down the screen. For instance, 800x600-pixel resolution means that there are 800 dots of color across each of 600 rows down the screen. Most screens today let you work at 800x600 or 1024x768. As you increase resolution, the size of the characters and images gets smaller, allowing for more information to be displayed across a certain screen area. Be sure to confirm that your computer’s card can support the same maximum resolution as your monitor. If your monitor can go up to 1,280x1,024 but your video system can only handle 800x600, you won’t be able to take advantage of the monitor’s 1,280x1,024 resolution.
The number of dots of light that appear on a monitor. Higher resolution means more dots appear on the screen, allowing a larger image to be displayed. Most notebooks offer a resolution of 640x480 dots, but a few models can show 800x600 dot images.
Refers to the level of detail of a screen or an image. The higher the resolution, the better picture quality.
In astronomy, "resolution" or "resolving power" refers to the ability of a telescope to distinguish details. "Angular resolution" refers to the ability to distinguish details in an image. For example, Chandra can distinguish details that are only half an arc second apart. If your eyes had similar resolving power, you could read the letters on a stop sign at a distance of 12 miles! "energy resolution" refers to the ability to distinguish the energies or wavelengths of photons. In visible light, this amounts to the ability to distinguish different colors. When Chandra makes an observation with the transmission gratings in place, it can distinguish thousands of different X-ray energies or colors.

Ability to distinguish visual detail, usually expressed in terms of the size (in kilometers) of the smallest features that can be distinguished.
The number of pixels that the display is capable of showing, expressed as width x height. Higher numbers are better, and more expensive. A higher resolution allows for more information to be shown on the display at one time, although the graphics and text get smaller. With small displays, there is a point of diminishing returns with very high resolutions, as the user has to have very good eyes to be able to read them. 640x480 is the standard resolution for displays, and 800x600 is not uncommon.
The clarity of a video display screen or monitor.
In general, this refers to how sharp and clear an image looks on screen or on paper, and how much detail you can see. Usually determined by number of dots per square inch.

A measure of the amount of information being displayed by a particular device. Generally speaking the higher the resolution the more information is being displayed, therefore the better the image looks.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels in the whole image, because the number of dots per inch varies depending on the screen's dimensions. For example, a resolution of 320 by 240 means that 320 lines are drawn from the top to the bottom of the screen, and each of these lines is made up of 240 separate pixels--and in turn, each dot may have any number of combinations of red, green, and blue intensities.

The smallest unit of measure that an instrument is capable of accurately and repeatedly indicating.
A graphics formatting term: The number of dots per inch used to represent a graphics image. The term "pixels" is also used for "dots" in this context. High resolution images look smoother and have more dots per inch that do low resolution images. The resolution of images displayed on the screen is usually lower that the of the final laser printout. Laser printers print 300 dots (or pixels) per inch or more; typesetters print 1200 dots (or pixels) per inch or more.
The number of pixel or dots per frame (DPI).
The smallest change in the quantity being measured which the measurement system is capable of detecting.
The amount of detail that can be resolved out of the image. The higher the pixel count, the greater the resolution, or more detail can be resolved. A 4" x 5" image with 1 ppi has no resolution (no detail can be seen in the image). Whereas, in a 4" x 5" image with 300 ppi, a lot of detail can be seen, so it has high resolution. And in a 4" x 5" image with 72 ppi, only a moderate amount of detail can be seen, so it has low resolution. See also DPI, LPI, PPI and SPI
the extent of meaningful information in Fourier space, given by a spatial frequency radius. In 2D averaging or 3D reconstruction of macromolecules in single-particle form, the resolution is estimated by splitting the dataset into halves, and comparing averages or 3D maps from the independently processed halfsets by using a measure of reproducibility. [See also Fourier ring correlation, Fourier shell correlation, Differential phase residual.

The number of pixels in a given space, usually measured as dots per inch (DPI). Also, the number of dots per inch used by an output device.
The resolution of an image describes how fine the dots are that make up that image. The more dots, the higher the resolution. A 300 dpi (dots per inch) printer is capable of printing 300 dots in a line 1 inch long. This means it can print 90,000 dots per square inch. When displayed on a monitor, the dots are called pixels. A 640-by-480-pixel screen is capable of displaying 640 distinct dots on each of its 480 lines, or about 300,000 pixels
The number of pixels in an image. A higher number correlates to a higher quality image Sensitivity (ISO)
Refers to the accuracy of reproduction and distinctness of visual elements, defined in dots per inch (dpi). The more dots per inch, the finer the resolution.

The amount of detail that is displayed on a presentation media. This could be a monitor, a printed page or any other device or media used to display images or text. There are many different measures of resolution. One such measure is dpi or dots per inch. There are several others. However, it is safe to say, the higher the resolution, the more detail will be displayed. For example, an image printed or scanned at 1200 dpi will exhibit far more detail than one that is printed or scanned at 300 dpi.
The sharpness of a monitor or printer. Monitor resolutions are measured by pixel width, pixel height, and color depth (i.e. 800x600, 16-bit), while printer resolution is measured in dots per inch.

The dimensions of a screen, measured in pixels.
The quality of a graphic file is measured by the number of pixels or dots per inch (dpi) the image contains. A high resolution file might typically be 300 dpi and is suitable for printing jobs. A 72 dpi image is considered to be a low resolution image and is useful for website design. The image resolution changes as you scale the picture up and down in your graphics program. The term also applies to a laser printers output capabilities, which range from 300dpi to 2400dpi plus form imagesetters.
In electronic imaging, the qualification of printout quality using the number of dots per inch.
The ability of the camera system to distinguish and reproduce fine detail.
the amount of data used to make up a picture, screen, or audio track. The more data in a picture, the richer the image and the higher the resolution. Resolution is measured in a number of ways, depending upon the medium used. For example, digital TVs describe their resolutions in terms of the number of pixels or dots that make up the picture along the vertical and horizontal axes. One of the high-definition picture formats is composed of 1080 active lines, and each line is composed of 1920 active pixels. Therefore, each frame has more than 2 million (1080 X 1920 = 2,073,600) color pixels creating the image. By way of contrast, today’s typical analog television is roughly equivalent to 480 active lines, with each line holding about 440 pixels. So, each frame has slightly more than 200,000 color pixels in use creating the image.
Number of dots or pixels per unit of area. The greater the pixels per unit area the higher the resolution, giving more detail.
the crispness of detail or fineness of grain in an image. Screen resolution is measured in dots by lines (for example, 640 x 350); printer resolution is measured in dpi (for example, 300 dpi).

Resolution is the sharpness or clarity of an image. It is often used to describe monitors, printers and bitmapped images. A screen resolution refers to the number of dots (or pixels) on the entire screen. An 800x600 screen resolution displays about 480 000 dots on a screen. The more dots, the sharper the image.
The fineness or coarseness of an image as it is scanned, printed, or displayed. It is measured in dots per inch (DPI), typically from 200 to 400 DPI, although ImageControls supports lower and higher resolutions. A higher resolution results in a better image; however, more storage space is required for the high resolution image files.
Expressed by TV lines or pixels, it indicates the quality level of video images.
The smallest detectable increment of measurement. Resolution is usually limited by the number of bits used to quantize the input signal. For example, a 12-bit A/D can resolve to one part in 4096 (2 to the 12 power equals 4096).
A measure of video signal detail for source material, transmission channels, recorders and displays. Resolution can be measured in pixels or in "lines of resolution."
Resolution is simply the number of pixels (dots) per square inch used to create an image, so more pixels equal greater resolution. Resolution is represented by two numbers. The first number is the amount of pixels horizontally across a screen. The second number is the number of pixels vertically across a screen from top to bottom. The resolution you see depends on two factors: the resolution of your display and the resolution of the video signal.
The degree to which a digital picture looks crisp and sharp.
The resolution of a digital dataset expresses the size of the smallest object which can be depicted. The term is most commonly associated with the raster data model where the resolution of a raster or grid is equal to the size of the cell in the real world. For example, the resolution of a remotely-sensed image may be 10m (each cell representing 10mx10m on the ground). Increased resolution leads to larger storage requirements, increased processing and higher costs for a given area.
A word used in several different areas of bioimaging; such as 1) magnification resolution that is defined as the minimum distance between objects that can be visually detected or 2) Image resolution in the Z-axis of an image (sometimes called depth-of-field) or 3) both the quality of a monitor screen and image. It is also used to describe the output quality of an image on a hardcopy device such as a printer. Screen and image resolution are based on the number of pixels used to make the image (example: 1024 X 768). While hardcopy resolution is based on dots per square inch (example: 300 dpi).
Not just for New Year: this means the amount of detail that can be reproduced in dpi (or dots per inch). The higher the resolution, the better the result. As opposed to New Year, where the loftier the resolution, the more difficult it is to get a result.
a synonym for sharpness in regards to imaginary detail, it is measured in lines or pixels. Most PC currently use a 1,024x768 resolution.
Measured in dots per inch (dpi), resolution measures the quality of output in typesetting. The greater the number of dots per inch, the smoother and less jagged the appearance of the typeface or the image.
The efficiency of a computer graphic in reproducing fine detail.
ADC resolution is the number of bits used to represent the analog input signal. To more accurately replicate the analog signal, you must increase the resolution. Using an ADC with higher resolution also reduces the quantization error. For DACs, resolution is similar but reversed—incrementing the code applied to a higher resolution DAC produces smaller step sizes in the analog output.
sharpness, in either a screen or printout. A resolution of about 72 dots per (square) inch is a common resolution of computer monitors and inexpensive dot matrix printers; The higher the resolution, the finer the image quality. Good laser or inkjet printers and scanners provide a resolution of 600 dots per inch; high-quality typesetting machines can print at 2,540 dpi.
Expressed as the number of pixels counted horizontal y by the number of pixels counted vertically. It can be expressed as one of the following formats: QVGA (320 x 240), VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600), XGA (1024 x 768) UXGA (1600 x 1200).

The number of horizontal pixels times the number of vertical pixels (e.g. 800 x 600) in a video, still image, or a monitor's display.
A way of measuring the clarity of an image. Resolution involves the number of elements per inch -- the number of pixels on you screen or dots your laser printer can produce which indicates how clear and sharp an image is.
The number of dots per inch (dpi) that an image contains. Screen resolution is the number of pixels per inch that the screen can use to display an image. Printer resolution is the number of dots of ink per inch that the printer can print. Scanner resolution is the number of dots per inch of the image that the scanner can recognize. In general, if the printing or scanning resolution is too low, image quality will suffer.
The number of subdivision levels of data.
The resolution of an image is the total number of stacked horizontal lines that create the vertical segment of a picture. A higher resolution results in a sharper, more detailed picture. Standard television signals generally display 525 lines of resolution. HDTV signals, however, consist of over 700 lines of resolution, resulting in superior image quality.
The act or result of displaying fine detail in an image. The limit of resolution in the minimum separation between alternating black and white line pairs. Resolution is often given in the units of line pairs per mm (lp/mm) or in minimum resolvable spot size.
A term used in both traditional and digital photography to describe the quality of an image. The higher the resolution, the more detail can be discerned.
The smallest value a display device can indicate. For example, if a device can display 0.0 to 100.0 RPM, the smallest measurement and, therefore, the resolution is 0.1 RPM.

Degree of molecular detail on a physical map of DNA, ranging from low to high.
Loosely speaking, the quality of an image. When printing or working with images, the resolution is usually measured in Dots Per Inch (dpi) - the more dots per inch, the higher the quality of the image but the larger the file needed to store it. In Windows, the screen resolution is how many pixels fit on the desktop, the most popular being 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 - the former makes images, icons etc look bigger, but the latter means you can fit more of them on the screen.
A bitmap image is divided into rows and columns of pixels. The number of these rows and column per inch or per centimetre is known as the resolution. A good scanner can output a bitmap from a photograph at 600 or more pixels per inch. Your monitor has a resolution of about 72 pixels per inch.
The output quality of elements in the composition of images. The higher the resolution of an image, the more detailed the reproduction and the more suitable it is for enlargement. Depending on the application and process, resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch), PPI (pixels per inch), or LPI (lines per inch).
the clarity of the images produced on a monitor screen. The sharpness of the image on a display depends on the resolution and the size of the monitor.

A measure of the finest detail that can be seen, or resolved, in a reproduced image. While influenced by the number of pixels in an image (for HDTV approximately 2,000 x 1,000; current broadcast NTSC TV 720 x 487), note that the pixel numbers do not define ultimate resolution but merely the resolution of that part of the equipment. The quality of lenses, display tubes, film process and film scanners, etc., used to produce the image on the screen must all be taken into account.
Resolution is the basic measurement of the amount of information on a display. Typically this is defined as the product of two numbers (i.e., 1024 x 768), which indicates the number of pixels displayed horizontally multiplied by the number of pixels displayed vertically. The higher the number the better as there is more ability to display more details.
A measure of the number of pixels an image contains. In the case of video images, it is expressed in vertical 'X' [by] horizontal values. The higher these values are, the higher the resolution of the image. Mobile versions of OverDrive video files have smaller resolutions to make playing on a portable device easier.

The smallest signal increment that can be detected by a measurement system. Resolution can be expressed in bits, in proportions, or in percent of full scale. For example, a system has 12-bit resolution, one part in 4,096 resolution, and 0.0244 percent of full scale.
Number of pixels in a digital photo (width x height).
Figures such as 480 x 480 and 320 x 240 express the number of horizontal and vertical pixels in a photo or video clip. Files with lower resolutions take up less storage space, but they won't show the same detail as clips with higher resolutions.
The basic measurement of how much information is displayed on a screen, expressed in units of pixels. The pixel pitch and the physical dimension of the display determine resolution. To calculate resolution, divide the area of the display by the area of an individual pixel. Most displays of video quality have a resolution greater than 10,000 pixels. Generally, the greater the resolution, the better the image will appear. Commonly listed as number of pixels per square meter.
Directly affects picture quality. The higher the resolution, the more picture detail there is. Many things affect resolution, including number of bits, pixel count, format, receiver quality, cameras, lenses and lighting used for live or taped programming, etc.
The number of pixels, represented by bits in the display memory, also known as addressable resolution. A display memory can be organized by pixels (bits) in the x axis (pixels per line) by the number of pixels in the y axis (lines) and by the number of memory planes in depth. A standard VGA display memory is 640 pixels across by 480 pixels (or lines) down, and typically 8 bits deep. The higher the resolution, the greater the detail and the more information that can be stored. Not all stored information can be displayed.
The smallest value of input (or output) signal, other than zero, that can be measured (or sourced) and displayed. Also called sensitivity or minimum resolvable quantity.
The smallest signal increment that can be detected by a measurement system. It is usually specified in "bits."
The level to which a value can be measured. Note that this is very different from repeatability. For example, a measurement system may have a resolution of 1 femtosecond, but a repeatability of 25 picoseconds. So a complete jitter result from this system might be written as 51.342±25 picoseconds. Obviously, resolution only needs to be good as repeatability - anything more is wasted.

The sharpness of an image on film, paper, computer screen, disc, tape, or other medium. In regards to DPI and Printing: The higher the resolution of your printer or image setter, the greater detail you can print and the better appearance of your output. back
Number of elements used to make up or represent a signal or image with higher numbers resulting in more lifelike and accurate representations.
The number of bits (four, eight, ten, etc.) determines the resolution of the signal. Eight bits is the minimum resolution for broadcast television signals. - 4 bits = a resolution of 1 in 16 - 8 bits = a resolution of 1 in 256 - 10 bits = a resolution of 1 in 1024
Resolution is the value of the finest division of the scale. Sometimes referred to as the smallest reading possible.
The amount of detail and information that a image file contains, as well as the level of detail that an input, output, or display device is capable of producing.
How fine the detail is on a screen or printout. Screen resolution is measured in pixels across, pixels down, and number of colors. Printer resolution is measured in dpi (qv) or with vague terms like draft, letter quality, and near letter quality.
The measure of the finest detail that can be reproduced by the television system being used.
1- Spatial resolution = image "sharpness", i.e. how small details can be seen. 2 - Contrast resolution = how clearly different intensities (e.g. different shades of grey) can be differentiated. Temporal resolution = ability to "freeze" movement.
Displays the fractions of seconds that can be shown, such as 1/10, 1/100 or 1/1000.
This is a measurement of the imaging components ability to reproduce signal/object detail. AST specifies resolution as the frequency (Line-pairs per mm) at 10% contrast.
The fineness with which a scanner, printer, or other device produces information. It is expressed in dots per inch (dpi). A higher dpi produces a sharper image. Also can represent the intended dots-per-inch of a bitmap image.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels on the LCD, and describes the clarity of the viewed image. The higher the number of pixels of a projected image, the more visible detail and smoother edges appear on objects like fonts or scanned images. Choosing the right computer or projector resolution will depend on the types of applications you use and the types of images you might project. (See descriptions for VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA below)
Resolution refers to the number of pixels in a given area. The more pixels there are in that area, the more distinct the image. Given the same image, a higher resolution will require more memory than a lower resolution.
The smallest piece of detail that can be seen with a telescope. Anything smaller than the resolution of an image will be "blurred" out. The resolution of a telescope improves as the telescope's aperture gets bigger. However, for the larger telescopes, the blurring by the atmosphere is the main effect. This is called seeing.
Resolution is a term used to describe the smallest amount which a measurement system can detect.› More detailed Information

Resolution refers to the pixel dimensions of the image captured by a digital camera, measured in megapixels. Resolution can also refer to how tightly pixels are "packed" in an image, such as a printed photo, measured in dpi. A photo printed at a resolution of 300 dpi is one where 300 pixels are displayed in a linear inch. For example, a 6" x 4" print at 300 dpi resolution would require an image with dimensions of 1800 pixels by 1200 pixels
The number of pixels or character cells available on the screen.
Describes the amount of data/information (number of pixels) a device can reproduce in a certain space. With input devices (digital cameras, scanners), the resolution determines the number of pixels that can be recorded. Generally, the higher the resolution, the better the picture quality.
The number of pixels per inch in an image. The more pixels, the finer the image and the more realistic it appears. When an image is scanned, a certain number of pixels per inch are captured. From this original capture, the image may be displayed at different resolutions according to how many pixels the monitor can display. When an image is printed, the resolution is controlled by how many dots per inch the printer is capable of printing.
The sharpness and clarity of an image. Often used to describe monitors, printers, and bit-mapped images. In printers and scanners, resolution is measured in dpi.
Resolution is a measure of how a digital copier scans and prints copies, generally 400 dpi (dots per inch) or 600 dpi. 600 dpi means that the scanned image consists of 600 x 600, or 36,000 dots per square inch.
Level of image detail or sharpness determined by how many (pixels) compose an area of an image.
The quantity of data capable of being captured, printed or displayed; typically measured in dots per inch (dpi). Higher resolution is one of many factors that can improve image quality.
The size of a video frame, measured in pixels. Digital video has a resolution of 720 by 480, which means that every complete frame (two fields combined) is 720 pixels wide and 480 pixels high.
A measure of how fine a detail can be detected, in terms of distance in space or passage of time. Note that the convention used to measure spatial resolution in video is every black and white line counted, giving the term "TV lines."
This term is used to describe how fine of an image a monitor can display and a printer can print. With printers, resolution is measured by the number of pixels per inch the printer can print. This measurement is known as dots per inch, or "dpi". Because the sizes of monitors differ, monitor resolution can't be measured in dpi. Instead, the resolution of a monitor refers to the number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen. For example, in a 640 x 480 resolution, there are 640 horizontal lines are drawn across the screen and 480 drawn vertically. Some common monitor resolutions are 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1,024 x 768, and 1,280 x 1,024.

The number of bits in which a digitized value will be stored. This represents the number of divisions into which the full-scale range will be divided. e.g. A 0-10V range with a 12-bit resolution will have 4096 (212) divisions of 2.44mV each (10V/212 or 10V/4096). Our ACPC 16 boards can resolve an incoming signal to .76µV (50mV/216 or 50mV/65,536).
The fineness of detail that can be distinguished (as in a moving coil meter face, for example).
the measure of the quality of a digital image, usually expressed in dots per inch (DPI); see also “spatial resolution
The number of pixels that make up a screen or display and with a computer fed Image or when presenting Images from say a digital camera, usually means the higher the resolution the sharper the Image. Higher resolution ie more than 852 x 480 on a plasma screen is of less Importance when connecting a video source.
The sharpness of a video image, signal or display, generally described either in terms of "lines of resolution," or pixels. The resolution you see depends on two factors: the resolution of your display and the resolution of the video signal. Since video images are always rectangle-shaped, there is both horizontal resolution and vertical resolution to consider.

Measurement of image fineness stated in lines per inch (lpi), dots per inch (dpi), or pixels per inch (ppi) as created by an output device such as a scanner, imagesetter, laser typesetter, or laser printer. Low resolution laser printers output typically at 300 dpi, medium resolution at 400 dpi, high resolution of 600 dpi.
The Resolution of an image is how clear it is to the eye. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the image. Resolution is measured in Dots Per Inch (DPI). The resolution for standard magazine quality images is about 300 dpi, while photo quality images can be as high as 1200 dpi. After 300 dpi, it becomes harder and harder for the average person to discern the exact quality of the image, as the resolution is so small that the image blends perfectly.
A term used to measure the amount of data stored in a digital image (or on a CCD chip). The higher the resolution, the better the picture quality. Resolution is usually given in terms of pixels per inch (ppi) or dots per inch (dpi). A horizontal and vertical count will reveal how many pixels the image or CCD contains - ie, a 640 x 480ppi chip has just over 300,000 pixels. Printer resolution is usually expressed as dpi.
The degree to which fine details on an image can be distinguished.
The density of pixels on the screen that determines the fineness of detail of a displayed image.

A measure of the size and depth of colours in an image. Commonly used to refer to the display settings of computer monitors.
Amount of video information on a screen measured in lines and pixels. The more lines and pixel information the sharper the video image will appear.
The image on your computer's monitor is made up of tiny dots called pixels (picture elements). The total number of pixels used to draw the image on the screen determines the Resolution and is defined by the number of pixels across and the number of pixels down. i.e. 640x480.
A term used in reference to images. A ‘low resolution’ image is usually 72 pixels per inch, and is used for web. For print a resolution of 300 pixels per inch or higher is needed.
Digital image resolution is the size of your image, measured in pixels. Images that are higher in resolution will result in a better product, while those images with a lower resolution may result in poor print quality and may appear fuzzy and indistinct.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image which, in turn determines its sharpness. Its expressed as horizontal pixels x vertical pixels, in a ratio of 4:3, for example, 800 x 600, 1600 x 1200, 2048 x 1536, etc.
This refers to the size of the image you are viewing. You can change the resolution of your screen by clicking the right mouse button on the desktop and selecting 'Properties'
Refers to the sharpness and clarity of an image. The term is most often used to describe monitors, printers, and bit-mapped graphic images. For monitors, the screen resolution signifies the number of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. For example, a 640-by-480 pixel screen is capable of displaying 640 distinct dots on each of 480 lines, or about 300,000 pixels. This translates into different dpi (dots-per-inch) measurements depending on the size of the screen. For example, a 15-inch VGA monitor (640x480) displays about 50 dots per inch.
The resolution refers to the number of pixels. Its expressed as horizontal pixel count by vertical pixel count (640 x 480). The higher the resolution, the sharper the picture.
It defines the thinness of restitution of information provided by an output device such as a screen or a printer. It is usually measured in number of points. On screens, in 1995, the most frequent resolutions are 640 points per row and 480 points per column (called VGA), 800x600 (called SVGA) and 1024x768. On printers, it is measured in number of points per inch. On laser printers, in 1995, it is most frequently 300 or 600 points per inch. We can observe that resolution is much higher on printers than on screens.
The clarity of the image on video display screen. Three factors influence resolution: lines of resolution (vertical and horizontal), raster scan rate (number of times per second the image on a video screen can be refreshed or "lit up" again), and bandwidth.
refers to the quality of an image, measured in ppi (pixels per inch) or dpi (dots per inch).
Similar to dpi, the resolution is how many pixels can be displayed on the screen at once. The resolution is measured in the number of pixels wide and high that the display is. The most common resolutions are 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200. Higher resolutions provide sharper, better quality pictures, but also make type and images smaller since more information is squeezed onto the same size screen. The size of the monitor is important when considering the resolution. A 14" or 15" monitor is best with an 800x600 resolution. 1024x768 is best for 17" monitors. 19" monitors can use 1280x1024 or 1024x768 well. 1600x1200 or greater is recommended only for 21" or larger monitors. The resolution of a TV screen is 640x480; another reason why a computer's display is much better than a TV's. RIMM: A RIMM is a form of memory connection much like a SIMM or DIMM. RIMMs are physically different from the others and cannot be used on a BX chipset motherboard. RIMM stands for Rambus Inline Memory Module. RDRAM comes in RIMMs.
refers to the 'image-sharpness' of a document, usually measured In dots (or pixels) per inch (dpi). Documents can be scanned at various resolutions depending on your particular needs. The higher the resolution of a document, the greater the image-sharpness, and the larger the file size will be. Resolution also refers to the image-sharpness that printers and monitors are capable of reproducing. Retention Period is the length of time documents must be stored and maintained to satisfy business or legal requirements.
The amount of detail and information an image file contains, as well as the level of detail an input, output or display device is capable of producing. Bitmap, resolution affects both the quality of the final output and also the file size.
The number of dots or screen pixels used to create an image. The more dots, the higher the resolution, the better the image. Higher resolutions increase file sizes.

The amount of resolvable detail (horizontal lines of pixels) in the vertical direction in an image.
Number of horizontal and vertical pixels that a device or image contains, expressed as: (horizontal dimension)x(vertical dimension), 1024x768. In camcorders this can be applied to the CCD, LCD and viewfinder, as well as the recorded image and a photo if applicable. Normally a higher resolution is better than a lower resolution.
The amount of detail the image contains. Resolution of 2 megapixels provides enough detail for 4x6 prints or full-frame enlargements; 8-megapixel resolution provides four times as much detail, allowing you to make sharp enlargements of only a portion of the original image.
the smallest change in input signal measureable by the DAS. This is normally expressed in terms of the number of bits in the resultant digital value generated by the ADC resolution. The vast majority of ADC's provide 12 bits (1 part in 4096 or 0.024 %) or 16 bits (1 part in 65536 or 0.0015 %).

Refers to the smallest unit of measurement that can be distinguished using a particular instrument or method; based on the ability to separate two measurements which are very close together. eversal. A typical distortion of normal-resistivity logs opposite beds that are thinner than the AM spacing; the effect is an apparent decrease in resistivity in the center of a resistive unit.
The number of pixels or dots per inch in an image. Also the capability of a scanner to resolve detail, which requires quality optics as well as high ppi or spi.
Resolution is a measurement indicating the degree of intricacy of a pattern to be transferred onto a wafer in the photolithography process. The resolution ( R ) for steppers, key systems in the process, can be expressed as R = k * lambda/NA, where the wavelength of the light source is represented by lambda and the lens' numerical aperture by NA. Plainly stated, the resolution of a pattern increases when a light source with a shorter wavelength is introduced, and/or when a lens with a higher numerical aperture is employed.
The ability of a lens system to show fine details of the object being observed.
The number of dots per unit of area. A raster image with a finer grid contains more dots and has a higher resolution, capable of reproducing more detail in an image.

The number of pixels that can be displayed on a screen, specified as the number of pixels in a horizontal line multiplied by the number of horizontal lines. For example, a resolution of 800 x 600 is 800 pixels running horizontally and 600 pixels running vertically-a total of 480,000 pixels.
The pixel quality of an image.
The most common misinterpretation of this term is that it is the same as pixel addressability. In fact, resolution is more closely related to dot pitch, since it is a limitation of the monitor rather than of the graphics controller. The resolution limits how small an object a monitor is able to display.
Refers to the number of pixels required to represent an image digitally. The term is most often used to describe monitors, printers, and bit-mapped graphic images. For example, a 640-by-480-pixel image is capable of displaying 640 distinct dots on each of 480 lines, or about 300,000 pixels. Live Channel supports resolutions up to 320-by-240.
The number of dots per inch on a computer monitor.
In terms of digital cameras, resolution is usually quoted as the dimension of an image measured in pixels. The figure is expressed as the number of pixels measured in rows (left to right) and columns (up and down).
numerical value denoting size and depth of detail in a given image.
Usually measured in dots per inch or dpi. This indicates how many individual dots a printer can create on a page per square inch of area. Dpi is typically listed as horizontal resolution by vertical resolution; the higher the dpi, the better the resolution.
The number of dots or samples-per-inch that a device is capable of recognizing or producing.
The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen. Example: If the resolution is 1024 x 768, this means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution) . Screen Size Most plasma TV’s are in the 42-inch category, but there are a great variety of screen sizes. These screen sizes are a measure of the diagonal dimension of the screen, so a small variation in this vital statistic can make a big difference to the actual screen area, as the diagram below shows. SVGA (800 x 600) for most video and large text presentations, does not have amazing sharpness and is less suitable for small text and intricate graphics. XGA(1024 x 768) is the most popular choice for presentations and high quality video. Resolutions higher than XGA are aimed more at specialist applications or high definition TV.
The ability to reproduce small details in a photograph. Resolving power is used to measure lens performance using line pairs per millimeter (1/mm), and indicates how many black pairs of lines placed at equal intervals within 1mm can be resolved by a lens.
The accuracy with which an analogue signal is represented by a digitising system. The more bits are used, the more accurately the amplitude of each sample can be measured, but there are other elements of converter design that also affect accuracy. High conversion accuracy is known as high resolution.
The amount of information (or molecular detail) that is available on a physical map.
the quality of the information measured in pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter for digital images.
The amount of small detail visible in an image; low resolution shows only large features, high resolution shows many small details.
1. A measure of picture quality in a television screen - the better the resolution the better the image. 2. A measure of acoustic accuracy - the better the resolution the more accurate sounds, instruments and voices are.
a level of precision in data. For specific types of resolution see display resolution, radiometric resolution, spatial resolution, spectral resolution, and temporal resolution.
The amount of detail visible in any display or copy. Most computer system output devices produce images from a matrix of small dots. Resolution then depends on the size and number of dots per unit length or area.
Spatial resolution describes how clearly you can see detail in a picture. Consider the focussing done by a camera. If the picture is blurry and you can't see small objects, the resolution is poor (low resolution). If the picture is sharp and you can see small objects, the resolution is good (high resolution). Resolution is also used in describing colour detail (how similar colours are) and even time detail (how close in time things happen). (Related words: detail, image analysis)
Resolution is a measurement of image sharpness and is expressed in millions of pixels, or megapixels.
(Screen or Monitor) The way things appear on your computer monitor. Resolution is measured in pixels. The lower the resolution, the larger things appear on your screen. Most computer monitors are set at 800 x 600 resolution, meaning 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Some people's monitors are set at 1024 x 768 or higher. Others are set at 640 x 480. When designing a Web site, keep in mind that your Web pages will look different to viewers depending on their monitor resolutions.
The smallest change in load that can be measured. This is usually much smaller than accuracy.
An expression of image size; the sharpness and clarity of an image, achieved by the closeness of the dots that make up the image. Resolution is expressed for the scanner as samples per inch (spi), for the screen as pixels per inch (ppi), for the printer as dots per inch (dpi). Most people say "dots per inch" when speaking of scanning resolution, (although technically this is not accurate). The more data per inch (samples, pixels, dots) the higher the resolution of the image and the better looking the image will be. Most screens display at a resolution of 72 pixels per inch. Most laser printers print at 300 or 600 dpi. Higher resolution image files are much larger than low resolution image files, so only save a high resolution image if you need to (such as for archiving). You will need a high resolution image if you are going to print the image in a paper publication and/or enlarge all or any part of the image on screen or on paper.
A measure of the amount of detail that can be represented. Resolution of printed images is measured by using the number of dots per inch (dpi).
Indication of how finely an image is resolved into pixels. It can be measured in dots per inch (dpi), pixels per inch (ppi), or samples per inch (spi).
A measure of the level of detail in an image or a measure of the capability of a device to represent detail.
The magnitude of an input signal equal to one digit change in the least significant digit in the display. Smallest value an instrument can measure.
measure of the ability of a display system to distinguish detail under certain specific conditions. The measure of this ability is normally expressed in lines per millimeter, meters per pixel, dots per inch, etc.
Number of pixels contained in the maximum screen viewing area. As in computer resolutions. 800 x 600, 1024 x 768.
The higher the resolution of a scanned image the more information is held. The resolution of an image is measured in 'dpi' dots per inch. The 'dots' refer to the pixels that make up a digital image. So for example a resolution of 150dpi means that in each inch of the image there are 22500 pixels (150 x 150) in every square inch. This is also referred to as ppi, pixels per inch and sometimes just as 'res' which is the metric resolution per millimetre (e.g.: res 12 is equivalent to 305 ppi).
the maximum number of pixels that can be displayed on a monitor, expressed as (number of horizontal pixels) x (number of vertical pixels), i.e., 1024x768. The ratio of horizontal to vertical resolution is usually 4:3, the same as that of conventional television sets. Source: Hyperdictionary.
Technical term for the measurement of photographic sharpness, resolution is lower for digital point-and-shoots than film models.
For visual images, the level of detail present: measured in pixel s per unit length.
a measurement of how well two spectral lines are separated from each other. In AA, this is of significance primarily in the spectrum of the light source.
the number of pixels in a digital photo; indicates how fine or coarse the image appears when printed or viewed on a computer monitor.
Even when detecting a stationary target, analog output voltage fluctuates slightly due to internal noise. The amount of fluctuation is called resolution; the smaller the fluctuation, the better or higher, the resolution. Example: 0.1% of F.S. The minimum readable measurement is 1/1000th of the measuring range.
1. The degree to which nearly equal values of a quantity can be discriminated. 2. The smallest measurable change in a quantity. 3. The least value of a measured quantity that can be distinguished.
An indication of the sharpness of images on a printout or the display screen. It is based on the number and density of the pixles used. The more pixels used in an image, the more detail can be seen and the higher the image's resolution.
A width x height measurement of computer monitor display capabilities in pixels. Some different types of displays are VGA or SVGA and different standard resolutions are 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768.
Refers to how much detail can be captured on a camera or displayed on a monitor. The higher the resolution, the more detail that can be captured in a picture. The monitors and recording devices should generally be able to handle at least as much resolution as the cameras can capture.
The smallest detectable distance between features recorded on a digitizer, displayed on a graphics screen, or drawn by a plotter. "Display Resolution"; The density of the pixels that compose an image. The greater the number of pixels per square inch of screen, the greater the resolution. In print, resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi). "Spatial Resolution" The smallest possible map feature that can be accurately displayed at a specified map scale. For example, in a 1:24000 scale map, a 50-foot distance between a roadway and railroad track centerline is one fortieth of an inch. Since the thinnest pen line width is presumed to be one fortieth of an inch, it is impossible to accurately represent the alignment of these two centerlines and still have a visible gap between them. To do this takes a smaller map scale ( 1:24000).
The number of pixels in a given area (the more dots or pixels the higher the resolution). Usually described as dots per inch (dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi).
The ability of the camera to detect and distinguish fine details.
the extent to which fine detail can be seen in the image.
The crispness or clarity of an image or type on film, paper, computer screen, disk, tape, or other medium.
The number of pixels in an image. The more pixels, the higher the resolution. The higher the resolution, the better the picture. (A pixel, by the way, is a colored dot.)
The number of pixels used to capture an image. The higher the resolution, the sharper the video or photos; for example, resolution of 640 x 480 gives you more detail than 320 x 240. The first number specifies the horizontal pixel count, while the second is the vertical pixel count.
The degree of detail at which a device such as a printer or a screen can display an image. Resolution is usually specified in dots per inch, or dpi, in the x and y directions. The higher the value, the finer the detail of the image.
A measure of an image’s detail and overall quality, usually a numerical value based on the units making up the image. For instance, the effective resolution of an analog TV screen is 512 × 400 pixels, while HDTV can reach 1920 × 1080 pixels. The higher the resolution number is, the clearer the picture becomes.
1. Measure of imager output capability, usually expressed in dots per inch (dpi). 2. Measure of halftone quality, usually expressed in lines per inch (lpi).
Detailness represented by frequency of signals per unit distance or time. line pairs per mm.........image resolution meters on the ground.......ground resolution dot per inch (dpi).......... dot resolution frequency of the pass .......... temporal resolution
The sharpness or clarity of a video display device. Measured as the number of Pixels (HxV) displayed.
The number and size of pixels that form a digital image or print. Resolution is expressed commonly in pixels per inch, ppi, and is independent of its physical dimensions, so a 2"x5" image can be both high resolution (300ppi) and low resolution (72ppi). When referring to the resolution of a printout or printer (such as common inkjets) resolution is expressed in dots per inch, dpi.
You can adjust your computer's resolution, so you can fit more on the screen. Resolution refers to the number of pixels that fit on the screen. Usual configurations include 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768. With 640x480 it is 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels tall, for a total of 307,200 pixels (640*480) being shown on your screen. Learn How To Change Your Resolution
clarity and sharpness of pictures and text as they appear on the screen or on paper, measured in dots per inch (dpi) or dot pitch (in mm).
The degree of detail contained in a digital image determined by the number of dots per inch or pixels per inch. See pixel, DPI, PPI.
Resolution is described by the number of pixels that are on a display monitor. (aka the individual points of color) When you see a resolution of 640 x 480, the first number always represents the number of pixels on the horizontal axis, with the second number representing the number of pixels on the vertical axis. The clarity of the image is in direct correlation to the resolution vs. the size of the display. Thus, if you have a high resolution on a small monitor, then you have a very sharp picture.
The fineness of the divisions into which a sensing or encoding system is divided. The higher the resolution, the more accurate the digital representation of the original signal will be.
This is a term to describe the clarity or quality of an image produced on screen, by a printer or scanner. The higher the resolution the better the image.
The process or capability of making the individual parts of objects on screen distinguishable, especially regarding font generation. The number of dots that can be displayed on the screen. Used to determine the clarity of a graphic image.
A measurement of the number of pixels that make up an image. The higher the number of pixels in an image, the higher the resolution, and the larger the file size. Sometimes resolution is expressed in a total number of pixels, such as a "megapixel camera", and sometimes resolution is expressed as dimensions of an image, such as 1600x1200. A higher resolution image will create higher quality digital prints and enlargements.
A measure of how fine a detail can be detected, in terms of either space (spatial resolution), time (temporal resolution), or intensity.
The quantity and quality of the detail that can be observed.
The amount of detail shown in an image, whether on screen or printed. For a monitor, it is the number of pixels it can display (typically 1024 x 768 pixels for a 17in monitor). For printers and scanners, resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi); the number of drops of ink or toner that can be printed in a square inch.
The size of the screen display on a monitor. Most PC users will be familiar with 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 resolutions, although many other resolutions are possible. Arcade machine typically used much lower resolutions.

Digital photography: The number of pixels displayed per inch of printed length in an image, usually measured in dots per inch (dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi) The amount of detail in an image depends on its pixel dimensions, while the image resolution controls how much space the pixels are printed over. You can modify an image's resolution without changing the actual pixel data in the image all you change is the printed size of the image.
The number of pixels of an image expressed in pixels per inch (ppi) or dots per inch (dpi). The higher the number of resolution, the better the image quality
Clarity of the picture on the screen.
A measurement of the quality of an image or of an output of a device, such as printer. Resolution is measured in DPI and PPI. While it is generally true that the higher the resolution the better the quality, it is only true to a point. An image in CMYK or grayscale mode is best at a resolution of 300 dpi. A higher DPI will only add the file size, not to the quality. An image in bitmap mode is best at a resolution between 600 dpi and 1200 dpi. Anything more than 1200 dpi will not increase the quality of the image.
The maximum number of alternate white and black horizontal lines that can be distinguished on a screen when a photographic target is placed between the lens and a light source and illuminated by that source.
The maximum number of pixels that the projector can display horizontally and vertically across an image, such as 1024 x 768 (called XGA).

Referring to the number of addressable points on a monitor's screen or the number of dots per unit area on printed output.
1. Resolution is the accuracy at which a given map scale can depict the location and shape of geographic features. The larger the map scale, the higher the possible resolution. As map scale decreases, resolution diminishes and feature boundaries must be smoothed, simplified, or not shown at all. For example, small areas may have to be represented as points. 2. Distance between sample points in a lattice. 3. Size of the smallest feature that can be represented in a surface. 4. The number of points in x and y in a grid or lattice (e.g., the resolution of a U.S. Geological Survey one-degree DEM is 1201 x 1201 mesh points).

a. For positioners, the smallest measurable increment of motion. b. Considering an image of a ruled test pattern made up of equal width black lines and intervening spaces (or white lines), resolution is a measure of how closely spaced lines and spaces (also called lines or line pairs) may be before contrast between white and black appears uniformly gray. Industrial video devices generally have higher horizontal than vertical resolution. CCD cameras are specified by TV Line resolution, which is related to spatial resolution (lines/mm).
The quality and clarity of an image, measured in pixels, dots per inch, or pixels per inch.

Some values of resolution are only allowed if the issue status is resolved or closed; these are marked with "*" below. Note that here, to "fix" a defect issue means repair it, but to "fix" a feature request means implement it. Possible values are: open fixed reopened (issue Status had been resolved or closed, but is now being reevaluated) duplicate* works for me: developer couldn't duplicate reported defect* not a problem: product is best without issue being fixed* deferred: will not fix now, but may reevaluate later* won't fix: will not fix for other reasons (e.g. too much work compared to benefit, would cause other problems)[Note that the default Mantis installation has another resolution, "Not Fixable". In addition, I renamed "suspended" to "deferred", which seems clearer.

A resolution is a formal decision of the company which has been adopted either by the shareholders or the board of directors. For shareholders meeting, there are two kinds of resolution - ordinary resolution and special resolution.
At company meetings the members decide on a course of action by voting on 'resolutions', for example to pay a dividend, appoint a director, or remove an auditor – decision made by directors or shareholders in accordance with requisite majorities set out in articles of association. Resolutions may be approved in meetings or by written resolution.

A resolution is a formal decision of the corporation that has been adopted by either the shareholders or the board of directors.
A statement of a decision reached either by directors or by shareholders of a company. A resolution may be written if all parties agree and sign it, or may be made orally in a meeting on the basis of a number of votes cast and then recorded in the minutes.

For the purposes of this handbook, a resolution is a text drafted and voted on by member states in the General Assembly or the Commission on Human Rights. A resolution usually has two parts: a more retrospective preamble (made up of preambular paragraphs) reiterating agreed concepts or reminding readers of previous studies or resolutions, and an `operative' section (made up of operative paragraphs). The operative paragraphs list decisions, recommendations or requests of the body. Each body will have its own rules about the size of the majority required for a resolution to be passed by a vote. Resolutions, for example of the Commission on Human Rights or of the General Assembly, though not binding, can have normative value. They can provide evidence for establishing the existence of a rule or customary practice and are politically persuasive.

The resolvability of features for a given map scale. Scale effects resolution. In a larger scale map, the resolution of features more closely matches real-world features because the extent of reduction from ground to map is less. Map resolution may refer to a "minimum mapping unit" or the accuracy at which a given map scale can depict the location and shape of map features. ESRI, 1994; Lund 1995
One meaning of the term 'resolution is the process of separating something into its constituent parts. The term is used in this project to refer to the scale of maps and field search units, and to the balance of cost and detail (i.e., the identification of constituent parts) that accompanies maps and units of different scale. For instance, as the scale of a map or the size of a surveyed land parcel becomes larger, finer-scale environmental detail becomes lost. As a result, the gross environmental associations that can be measured may obscure finer-scale " environmental/archaeological resource present" associations. The use of maps and units of high resolution are often precluded, however, by cost and the absence of maps at that level of resolution. High resolution models are necessary when the goal is to predict the precise locations of archaeological resources.
The degree of accuracy to which a controller can be set to or the degree of accuracy of an output function as in a digital readout of a specific output.
The accuracy of and ADC or DAC circuit.
The accuracy at which sound is sampled or digitised.
Accuracy at which the location and shape of map features can be depicted for a given map scale. In a larger scale map, there is less reduction, so feature resolution more closely matches real-world features. As a map scale decreases, resolution also diminishes because feature boundaries must be smoothed, simplified, or not shown at all.
Refers to the minimum increment in dimensions that a system achieve. It's one of the main determining factors for finish, appearance and accuracy, but certainly not the only one.
