How much memory is required to implement z-buffer algorithm for a $512 \times 512 \times 24$ bit-plane image?
- A. 768 KB
- B. 1 MB
- C. 1.5 MB
- D. 2 MB
Answer: B. 1 MB
Explanation: Assuming Z-buffer depth is standard (often 32 bit or matching color depth? The question might imply the Z-buffer depth). If the question implies the image size itself: $512 \times 512$ pixels.\nUsually Z-buffer is separate. If 24-bit refers to color, Z-buffer might be 24-bit too? \nIf 32-bit (4 byte) depth: $512 \times 512 \times 4 = 1$ MB. \nGiven options, 1 MB is a standard size for $512^2$ with 32-bit depth.
