Encoding Black and White Images

OUTCOME: 

• Explain how images are encoded with pixel data.

• Describe a pixel as an element of a digital image.

• Encode a B&W image in binary representing both the pixel data (intensity) and metadata (width, height).

• Create the necessary metadata to represent the width and height of a digital image, using a computational tool.

• Explain why image width and height are metadata for a digital image.
