The process of displaying a digital color image involves three interconnected steps: sampling, RGB pixels, and binary sequences. Sampling converts the continuous analog image into a digital form by dividing it into a uniform grid of discrete points, called pixels. Each pixel represents a small portion of the image at a specific coordinate (x, y), capturing the color information at that location
. RGB pixels represent the color of each pixel using the RGB color model, which combines varying intensities of Red, Green, and Blue light. Each pixel's color is defined by three values (one per channel), typically ranging from 0 to 255, allowing for millions of possible colors
. Binary sequences encode these RGB values into binary form because computers process and store data in binary. Each color channel is represented by an 8-bit binary number, so each pixel's color is stored as a 24-bit binary sequence (8 bits for red, 8 bits for green, 8 bits for blue)
. Together, sampling determines the spatial layout of pixels, RGB defines the color at each pixel, and binary sequences encode this color data so digital devices can process, store, and display the image accurately. This integration enables digital color images to be rendered on screens with precise color and detail.
