Interesting image facts

File format for line drawings

Tiff CCITT group 4 is the "de facto" standard for the compression and digital storage of line drawing or text based images.

Its also called Tiff Fax G4 or Tiff G4 2 D.

Digital Storage for 1 x Filing cabinet

1 file cabinet (4 drawer) (10,000 pages on average) = 500 MegaBytes (MByte)= 1 CD ROM

Trees required for paper

1 pulp tree (loblolly pine) = 1/10th cord of wood = 10,000 pages = 1 File Cabinet = 4 boxes = 1/2 GByte

1 lumber tree (20 inch diameter, 110 ft tall, 50 years old) = 1 cord

10 pulp tree (8 in. dia., 50 ft tall, 20 yrs old) = 1 cord = 4 x 4 x 8 ft = 128 cubic ft (75 cubic feet of wood)

Storage for an archive box

1 box (in inches: 12 wide x 15 long x 9.5 d) (2,500 pages) = 1 file drawer = 2 linear feet of files = 125 MBytes

Storage on 16mm Microfilm

1 roll of 16 mm microfilm (100 ft) = 2,500 letter size images = 1 box = 125 MBytes

Storage on 35mm Microfilm

1 roll of 35 mm microfilm (100 ft) = 5,000 letter size images (or letter size image equivalents)

Storage on Micro Fiche

1 microfiche (average) = 100 letter size images;

Digital storage units

1 Byte (B)(common usage) = 8 bits (b) = 1 character;

1 Unicode Byte = 16 bits = 1 character

1,000 Bytes =~ (~ about) 1 KiloByte;

1,000 KBytes =~ 1 MegaByte;

1,000 MBytes =~ 1 GigaByte;

1,000 GBytes =~ 1 TeraByte;

1,000 TBytes =~ 1 PetaByte;

1,000 PBytes =~ 1 ExaByte

The cost of a filing cabinet Figure fifteen square feet for
a file cabinet (you need enough room to open the drawers and walk past it). At $15 per square foot of space per year, that’s $2250 for the space, far more than the cabinet itself costs.

Storage cost of a CD

Cost of a unit of media - CD $1.00 / number of images that will fit on it / 16,000 images (50 KB per image)
= cost per image for media = $0.0000625 per image
