Definition, Resolution, IPR... What's the difference?

 

Definition= Total number of pixels
The definition of an image corresponds to its size in pixels, i.e. how many points (or pixels) make up the image.

  • Example: Our device produces images of 11,648 × 8,736 pixels, or 102 million pixels, or 102 megapixels (MPX).

Resolution= Pixel density on a surface
The resolution determines the concentration of pixels per unit length, often in PPP (points per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch).
It depends on the size to which you display or print the image.

  • Example with 102 MPX image

Printed in A4 format (21 × 29.7 cm = 8.27 × 11.69 inches)
→ Resolution

Printed in A0 (84 × 118.8 cm = 33.1 × 46.8 inches)
→ Resolution

DPI / PPI / PPP: it's almost the same

DPI (dots per inch): A term used in printing (printer, scanner, press).

PPI (pixels per inch): A term used for digital screens and files.

PPP (points per inch): It is simply the French version of PPI.
