pixels
Bitmap images store graphics info as grids of __________, sorts for “picture elements.”
.xif
The ______ format is an image format produced by the Nuance PaperPort scanning program.
Demosaicing
The process of converting raw picture data to another format, such as JPEG or TIF.
Vector Graphics
Graphics based on mathematics instructions to form lines, curves, text, and other geometrical shapes.
Metafile Graphics
Graphics files that are combinations of bitmap and vector images.
Raster graphics
Collections of pixels stored in rows rather that a grid , as with bitmap images, to make graphics easier to print; usually creates when a vector graphic is converted to a bitmap image.
Bitmap images
Collection of dots, or pixels, in a grid format that form a graphic.
Vector Quantization
A form of compression that uses an algorithm similar to rounding off decimal values to eliminate unnecessary bits of data.
ExIF
A file format the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Association developed as a standard for storing metadata in JPEG or TIF files.
Carving
The process of recovering file fragments that are scattered across a disk.
Nonstandard graphics file formats
Less common graphic file formats, including proprietary formats, newer formats, formats that most image viewers don’t recognize, and old or obsolete formats.
False Positives
The results of keyword searches that contain the correct match but aren’t relevant to the investigation.
