Intro to IT Assessment Process • Submit all assignments via Blackboard in the Learning Hub • Assignment 1 due 11.59pm Sunday 1st April • Assignment 2 due 11.59pm Sunday 6th May • Assignment 3 due 11.59pm Sunday 27th May • Late assignments attract a penalty of 10% per day late, up to a maximum of 50%
Intro to IT Assignment • Assignment will be in three parts • Overall task is to produce a video • Groups of up to 3 • Assessed by final video and group blog • Part 1: images and audio (end of week 5) • Part2: hardware (end of week 9) • Part 3: reflection, research (end of week 12)
Intro to IT Assignment 1 • Use GIMP (or a similar tool) to perform some manipulations on an image • Use Audacity to perform some manipulations on sound • Use a movie making tool to produce something like (and much better than!) ‘Lord of the Controllers’ • Email me your group and its name so that I can set up a blog on the Learning Hub

Representing Colours • There are various different schemes for representing colours • RGB • CMYK • HSB • HSL • CIE XYZ 01010100001… Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
RGB • Human eye uses red, green, blue sensors • Additive --- more colours means lighter colour + yellow + cyan + magenta + + Other colours by varying amounts of R, G, B Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
RGB • Often represented as (#R, #G, #B) where #R, #G, #B in range 0, 1, …, 255 (ie 28 -1) • This means 8 bits per channel, or bit depth 24 • Gives 2563 = 16,777,216 colours overall • Note that RGB is ascheme, not a particular set of numbers Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
RGB 8 bits per channel Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
CMYK • Based on 4 colours • Subtractive – more colours means less light Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK + red + green + blue Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
CMYK Why Black? Why not CMY? + + • Used mainly in printing (“4-colour print”) • In practice, doesn’t look “black” • “There is no colour with more shades than black” • Too much ink to make black soaks the paper too much • Text is traditionally black (and lots more text than pictures in colour) • Black ink is cheaper than coloured Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
Representing Colours • There are various different schemes for representing colours • RGB • CMYK • HSB • HSL • CIE XYZ 01010100001… Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
HSB (or HSV) How do humans describe colour? “rich dark green” Hue: basic colour (red, green, blue, yellow, …) Saturation: amount of colour (intensity, purity) Brightness: light or dark or in-between … Can be thought of as a cone or cylinder orhexacone Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
HSB and HSV and HSL • Hue is represented on a circle, and hence as a bearing (like on a compass) • Saturation and Brightness/Value are percentages • HSL is similar, except that 100% luminance is always white (just as 0% brightness is black) Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
CIE XYZ • Standard derived from work in 1931 to identify all colours visible to humans • Colours divided into brightness and chromacity • Humans can see more colours than a typical monitor can display • RGB produces more colours than CMYK Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
File Formats • Colour schemes are not the same thing as file formats! • JointPhotographicExpertsGroup (JPEG) • Uses RGB idea • Encodes RGB data into more compressed form before storage • Has `lossy’ compression • Human eye more sensitive to brightness than colour … Lecture 4: Images Intro to IT
Intro to IT Conclusion • Go to laboratory classes (and tutorials) this week! • Lab notes in the Learning Hubub • Check details in Course Guide • Start reading (notes, problems, report topic) GET THE BOOK!
