<p class="MsoNormal">This is rom your CSC315 class. I was trying
to work through the homework and I got stuck on number 2. Is
there a specific place I should be looking at for reference
material to help me complete the homework? I was also curious
about reference material in general because I don’t see the
homework questions material in the lecture slides. Thanks in
advance for all your help!</p>

<p>This is more of a general computer science knowledge question
combined with some of your new graphics knowledge about pixels.<br>
</p>
<p>The problem tells you that there are 42 bits per pixel and your
CCD array is 4288 pixels wide and 2848 pixels high. So the total
number of bits for a single image would be 42x4288x2848.</p>

role="presentation" dir="ltr">If you didn't already know this,
1 byte = 8 bits. Convert the bits to bytes, and then
determine how many images will fit on a 16GB card (you might
have to look up how to convert gigabytes to bytes).</span></font></p>

camera can shoot seven frames a second, multiply the bits in
an image by 7 and you know how many bytes can be transferred a
second.</span></font></p>
