Definitions of bit depth:

• The number of bits per palette index (in indexed-color PNGs) or per sample (in other color types). This is the same value that appears in IHDR.
  www.w3.org/TR/PNG-Glossary.html
• This refers to the color or gray scale of an individual pixel. A pixel with 8 bits per color gives a 24 bit image. (8 Bits X 3 colors is 24 bits.) CCD are colored in a pixel by pixel method.

• The number of bits used to represent each pixel in an image, determining its color or tonal range.

• This refers to the grey scale range of an individual pixel. A pixel with 8 bits per colour gives a 24 bit image (8 bits X 3 colours is 24 bits). CCD sensors are coloured in a pixel by pixel method. 30/32 bit colour is billions of colours. 24 bit colour resolution is 16.7 million colours. 16 bit colour is 65,536 colours. 8 bit colour is 256 colours. 8 bit grey scale is 256 shades of grey. 1 bit is black or white.

• 24-bit color, 8-bit color, 8-bit grayscale, 1-bit bitonal The number of bits used to define each image pixel. The greater the bit depth, the greater the number of tones (grayscale or color) that can be represented. Digital images may be produced in black and white (bitonal, lineart), grayscale, or color. Some new color display systems offer a 32-bit color mode. The extra byte, called the alpha channel, is used for control and special effects information.

• Amount of colours in an image of video. See bitmap.

• also called pixel depth or color depth--measures how much color information is available to display or print each pixel in an image. Greater bit depth (more bits of information per pixel) means more available colors and more accurate color representation in the digital image.

• The number of binary bits that define the shade or color of each pixel in a bitmapped image. For example, a pixel in a black-and-white image has a depth of 1 bit, because it can only be black or white. The number of color values that a given bit depth can produce is equal to 2 to the power of the bit depth

• The number of bits per pixel determine the number of shades of gray or variations of colors that can be displayed.
  www.onlyscanners.com/termsexplained.html
• The number of bits used to define a devices capability of reproducing colors.
  www.compulabel.com/index.asp
• The number of bits that are used to store a pixel's colour information for display. One byte is the basic unit of storage memory. 8 bits = 1 byte; 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte (kB); 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte (MB); 1024 megabytes = 1 terabyte (TB).
  www.zacsdesign.com/edu/basic_multimedia_glossary.htm
• The number of bits used to describe the color of each pixel on a computer display. For example, a bit depth of two means that the monitor can display only black and white pixels; a bit depth of four means the monitor can display 16 different colors; a bit depth of eight allows for 256 colors; and so on. Bi-linear filtering When a small texture is used as a texture map on a large polygon, a stretching will occur and large blocky pixels will appear. ...

• (also known as pixel depth) defines how many tones or colours every pixel in a bitmap can have. In other words, the depth of information recorded during scanning process is limited by the chosen bit depth.
  www.mlab.nl/GtoDSA/Glossary/Glossary_B.htm
• The number of bits dedicated to descibing a color. Each additional bit doubles the number of available colors.
  www.chriscassell.net/classes/2001/winter/gdt150/handouts/vocabulary.html
• The number of bits (binary digits) used to define a sample.
  amazingvoice.com/glossary.php
• [telemedicine] A description of the number of colors or shades of gray a monitor can display or a scanner can process. The higher the bit depth, the more color hues can be supported. Also called gray scale.
  www.theebusinesssite.com/IT%20Terms/Health%20Terms.htm
• This refers to number of level that a pixel can be represented by.
