1. Fill in the blanks with the right answer. (30, 2 marks each blanks)
1. Lossless coding includes Variable Length Coding---Dictionary based Coding, and -----.
2. A technique known as ------ improves the view by dividing a frame into two fields, each contains the
alternative scan lines, and displaying the field in twice of the frame rate.
3. The smallest element on a digital image is known as a ----- a picture element.
4. Sampling means measuring the quantity we are interested in, usually evenly-spaced intervals. Sampling in the
amplitude or voltage dimension is called ----.
5. Higher-end video systems make use of three separate video signals for the ----, ----, and ----- image planes.
Each color channel is sent as a separate video signal.
6. Consecutive frames in a video are similar to ----- is exploited so that not every frames of the video needs to be
coded independently as a new image.
7. In video compression, as consecutive frames in a video are similar (temporal redundanc between the current
frame and other frame(s) in

8. redundancy can be reduced by largely reducing ---- can be used to reduce it.

9. Psychological experiences suggest that lossless are much less likely to reduce the less of ---- than the loss of --10. The ratio of the power of the correct signal and the noise is called --------- a measure of the quality of the
signal.

111. Compute the following problems. (30, 10 marks each problem)

1. Your hard disk has 256 Mbytes of free space. You are going to record a speech with a sampling rate of 11 KHz, 8bit resolutions and a single channel. What is the length of the recording that can be stored in the hard disk?

2. A bitmap image has resolution 640*480 pixels. Each pixel in 24-bit deep. What is the size of the bitmap in bytes.

3. A photograph of 3*4 inches is scanning in 300 dpi resolution and 8-bit color. The image is then saved in a jpeg file
with 1:20 compression ratio. It is used on a web page. If a viewer connecting to the Internet using a modem with
typical transfer rate of 800 bytes/sec, how long will it take to download the image to his/ her computer?
