Uncompressed storage models
This simple model excludes metadata and compression.
The key idea
This simple model excludes metadata and compression.
size = rows × columns × bytes per cell
Worked examples
A raw image is 39 × 131 pixels with 3 bytes per pixel. Ignoring headers and compression, how many bytes?
39 × 131 × 3 = 15327
15327
A raw image is 32 × 157 pixels with 2 bytes per pixel. Ignoring headers and compression, how many bytes?
32 × 157 × 2 = 10048
10048
Try it yourself
A raw image is 82 × 59 pixels with 3 bytes per pixel. Ignoring headers and compression, how many bytes?
A raw image is 134 × 90 pixels with 4 bytes per pixel. Ignoring headers and compression, how many bytes?
