Image Resolution
Image Resolution
A camera’s resolution was largely dependent on the camera’s sensor, which could either be CCD or CMOS sensor chip. These sensors were needed in order to convert the light seen by the camera into discontinuous values to form them completely into digital signals. Lights emit photons which would be contained in the millions of buckets which composed the sensor. Brighter images release more photons. The more photons these buckets would gather, the bigger the pixels of the image will be. Some sensors then had color filter array, given they had an interpolation algorithm. The exact number of bucketed pixels is called the pixel count. This measurement scale used for the images’ pixels was mistakenly believed to have been the resolution of the camera. The disproving argument was that there were more elements which affect resolution. These were the make of the sensor, like its size, how the pixels gather together, and the quality of the lens used. Sensors with deficient number of buckets were feared of not being able to contain all the pixels and other extras. But then, the extra pixels were still handled, disproving the fact that sensors measure the resolution of the camera.
