Image Processing Basics : Intensity [Part II] _ Convert image into Binary Format

In this post we will study the effect of increasing number of bits used for storing each pixel.

[Basics of image representation are covered here]

Result:

 Original Image

No intensity levels allowed = 2.

No of intensity levels = 4

No of intensity levels = 8

It is very clear from the results obtained that as no. of intensity levels or in other words bits associated with every pixel increases quality of image increases.
