Images


When performing block-based coding for quantization, as in JPEG-compressed images, several types of artifacts can appear.

  • Ringing
  • Contouring
  • Posterizing
  • Staircase noise (aliasing) along curving edges
  • Blockiness in "busy" regions (sometimes called quilting or checkerboarding)

Famous quotes containing the word images:

    TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    No healthy man, in his secret heart, is content with his destiny. He is tortured by dreams and images as a child is tortured by the thought of a state of existence in which it would live in a candy store and have two stomachs.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
