What Is The Difference Between RGB and Grayscale Images

A pixel is a small dot that forms an image on a screen, with more pixels leading to a more realistic image. Resolution refers to image quality determined by diffraction and is measured by the smallest clear distance without blur. Grayscale images require less storage than RGB images, which have three color channels, and the two types differ in aspects like color information, storage efficiency, and applications.

What is Pixel?

A pixel is one of the small dots or squares that make up an image on a computer screen. The more pixels
there are, the more the image looks real or accurate. Any digital image is made up of pixels, and when
someone talks about the resolution of a computer monitor or TV screen, they're referring to the number of
pixels. (पिक्सेल एक छोटा बबिंद ु या वर्ग है जो किंप्यट

जब कोई किंप्यूटर मॉनीटर या टीवी स्क्रीन के ररजॉल्यूशन के बारे में बात करता है , तो वे पिक्सेल की सिंख्या
का उल्लेख कर रहे होते हैं।)

What is Resolution?
Resolution is the quality of the image which is decided by the diffraction effect and Rayleigh criterion. It is
measured by the smallest distance which could be seen clearly without blur due to diffraction. (ररजॉल्यूशन

What is the difference between RGB and grayscale images?


Compared to RGB images, which have only one intensity value per pixel, grayscale images require less
storage space because of the additional color information stored in each pixel, whereas RGB images require
more storage space because of the additional color information stored in each pixel. (आरजीबी छपवयों की
