Answer:
(a) 2 bytes
(b) 1 byte
(c) 1 byte
(d) 2 bytes
Explanation:
The pixel depth, in bytes, that would be most efficient choice for each type of data are:
(a) elevation in meters; 2 bytes.
(b) crown canopy percent; 1 bytes.
(c) temperature in degrees for a thermal camera used by firefighters; 1 bytes.
(d) median county income in dollars; 2 bytes.
Pixel depth also known as bit depth, determines the number of bits used to hold a screen pixel or the range of values that a particular raster file can store.
Pixel depth is calculated with the formula [tex]2{^n}[/tex] where n is the pixel depth.
