Definition of terms

Pixel
The smallest visual component of an image. Each pixel consists of one or more sample values. For example, a pixel might have three samples storing the intensity of red, green and blue colors.
Sample
The value of a pixel in one band. For example if an image has three bands for red, green and blue colors, then the first sample value of a pixel is the intensity of the red color.
Element
The element in an array of primitive type for storing one or more sample value. There is usually one element per sample value, but some images pack many sample values in a single element. For example, a bilevel image stores each sample value in a single bit and packs 8 sample values per byte.
