kuvapikselin

kuvapikselin is a Finnish term that translates to "image pixel" in English. It refers to the smallest indivisible element of a digital image. A digital image is composed of a grid of these tiny squares, each assigned a specific color value. The resolution of an image is determined by the number of kuvapikselin it contains; a higher resolution image has more kuvapikselin, resulting in greater detail and sharpness.

The color of a kuvapikselin is typically represented by a combination of numerical values that define its hue, saturation, and brightness. For example, in the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model, each kuvapikselin's color is determined by the intensity of red, green, and blue light emitted or reflected. The more kuvapikselin an image has, the more finely it can represent subtle variations in color and detail.

When an image is displayed on a screen or printed, each kuvapikselin is rendered as a tiny dot of a specific color. The arrangement and color of these kuvapikselin together form the complete image that the viewer sees. Enlarging an image beyond its original resolution causes the individual kuvapikselin to become visible as blocky squares, a phenomenon known as pixelation. Understanding kuvapikselin is fundamental to comprehending digital imaging and photography.
